I remember one day in 1966, while I was working in Madrid with [Jean-Claude] Carrière on the scenario for Belle de jour, I received a cable from Cadaqués. It was in French (the quintessential snobbery), and Dali demanded that I join him immediately to write the sequel to Un Chien andalou. “I’ve got ideas that’ll make you weep with joy,” he said, adding that he’d be delighted to come to Madrid if Cadaqués was inconvenient for me. I replied with a Spanish proverb: Agua pasada no rueda molino, or, once the water’s gone over the dam, the mill won’t run anymore. Later, he sent me another telegram congratulating me on winning the Golden Lion for Belle de jour at the Venice Film Festival and inviting me to collaborate on a journal he was getting ready to launch, called Rhinoceros. I decided not to answer. — Luis Buñuel

La Residencia de Estudiantes, the “Student Residence”, is one of the original Spanish cultural centers in Madrid.
During the first half of 1900s, it was a prestigious cultural institution that helped foster and create the intellectual environment of Spain’s brightest young thinkers, writers, and artists such as painter Salvador Dalí, poet Federico García Lorca and filmmaker Luis Buñuel.
