SERRANO ALVAREZ, Arturo  y  FINOL, Luis. Violence and Sexual Desire in Luis Buñuel: Case Study of Él (This Strange Passion, 1953) and Ese Oscuro Objeto del Deseo (1977). Dixit [online]. 2024, vol.38, e3870.  Epub 01-Dic-2024. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v38.3870.

Violence originated by excessive desire is one of the most important themes in Buñuel’s filmography. The hypothesis of this article is that Luis Buñuel handles a platonic-psychoanalytic conception of desire as a feeling destined to constant frustration, in the sense that it is always desire for what is not possessed in the present. From the analysis of the films Él (This Strange Passion, 1953) and Ese oscuro objeto del deseo (1977) it is observed that, through the handling of characters full of insecurities and deficiencies, violence becomes a daily currency and a characteristic element that crosses not only the films under study, but also the extensive work of the Aragonese filmmaker

Palabras clave : Luis Buñuel; Spanish cinema; sexuality; violence; Mexican cinema.
