I watched Susana recently, don’t know if I’m right, but think of his mexican years more as hack work, considering the stuff either side of it. guess his career bookending was more the type of narratives he wanted to be doing. maybe he just fancied playing it straight in mexico. would be interesting an interesting flip, given the more traditionally bunuelian western imagery we get of mexico, day of the dead/ Frida Kahlo. not sure if that makes sense.
if I remember right from the autobiography, he sounded happy enough there. think some of that stuff might be hard to find, wuthering heights probably my favourite from the ones I’ve seen.
