Os esquecidos, de Luis Buñuel: o exílio republicano espanhol e a revitalização do cinema social em Latinoamérica

Abstract

Los olvidados, the first film art that Bufíuel would embark in_exile after seventeen years o f propaganda and commercials, is often taken as a film that represented Mexican cinema. Some thought about ideas that gravitate around the intellectuallife of republican Spaniards in the exile, however, makes three far reaching strategies clear: one artistic (the film as an instrument of poetry), one ideological (a critique of the Neorealist movement), and one cultural (a starting point o f the new Latin American social cinema), which presented an image ofMexico that related to the tragedy o f the Spanish Civil War and its cultural tradition
