Written in collaboration with Jean-Claude Carrière
Agón is a rare and fascinating screenplay by Luis Buñuel, written in collaboration with his longtime creative partner Jean-Claude Carrière. The script reflects the mature phase of Buñuel’s artistic vision, blending surrealist imagination with sharp philosophical inquiry into desire, power, faith, and human contradiction.
Though never realized as a finished film, Agón reveals Buñuel’s distinctive narrative voice—at once playful, provocative, and deeply subversive. Like many of his works, the screenplay explores the strange logic of dreams and the absurd rituals of society, offering readers a glimpse into the creative laboratory of one of cinema’s most daring auteurs.
