In this Aug. 1, 2013 photo, photographs about the life and films of Luis Bunuel hang at an exhibit inside the "Casa Bunuel" in Mexico City. For a man who assaulted moviegoers with such shots as an ant-infested hand, an eyeball sliced open with a straight razor, and elegant dinners sitting on toilets, Bunuel enjoyed a surprisingly genteel life here. Now, the Spanish government, which bought the house from Bunuels family, has opened the house to a public long fascinated with his work. (AP Photo/Gabriela Sanchez)![Casa_Bunuel_9]()

Bunuel's work continues to inspire filmmakers more than 80 years after he launched his career. Director Woody Allen even had Owen Wilsons character in the 2011 film Midnight in Paris meet a young Bunuel and suggest the plot of The Exterminating Angel, in which guests are trapped in a room for no apparent reason after an elegant dinner party.
