The New York Times called him "a revolutionary" who was a "leader of avant-garde surrealism in his youth and a dominant international movie director half a century later".[3]
His first movie, Un Chien Andalou, was called "the most famous short [movie] ever made" by critic Roger Ebert,[4] and his last movie, That Obscure Object of Desire, won him Best Director awards from the National Board of Review and the National Society of Film Critics.[5]

Buñuel was said to have held a long-time grudge against Lamarque because the actress was able to bring him to tears when he viewed a "corny melodrama" which she had made in Argentina: "How could I let myself cry over such an absurd, grotesque, ridiculous scene?": Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist.
