Erik Varga( born 9 June 1976) is a Slovak sport shooter who specializes in the trap. At the 2008 Olympic Games he finished in joint eighth place in the trap qualification, missing a place among the top six, who progressed to the final round.

When Buñuel died at age 83, his obituary in" The New York Times" called him" an iconoclast, moralist, and revolutionary who was a leader of avant- garde surrealism in his youth and a dominant international movie director half a century later". His first picture," Un Chien Andalou" —made in the silent era—was called" the most famous short film ever made" by critic Roger Ebert, and his last film," That Obscure Object of Desire" —made 48 years later—won him Best Director awards from the National Board of Review and the National Society of Film Critics. Writer Octavio Paz called Buñuel's work" the marriage of the film image to the poetic image, creating a new reality ... scandalous and subversive". Often associated with the surrealist movement of the 1920s, Buñuel created films from the 1920s through the 1970s. His work spans two continents, three languages, and an array of genres, including experimental film, documentary, melodrama, satire, musical, erotica, comedy, romance, costume dramas, fantasy, crime film, adventure, and western. Despite this variety, filmmaker John Huston believed that, regardless of genre, a Buñuel film is so distinctive as to be instantly recognizable, or, as Ingmar Bergman put it," Buñuel nearly always made Buñuel films". Seven of Buñuel's films are included in" Sight& Sound"< nowiki>'</ nowiki >s 2012 critics' poll of the top 250 films of all time. Fifteen of his films are included in the" They Shoot Pictures, Do n't They?" list of the 1,000 greatest films of all time, for which he ranks second only to Jean- Luc Godard, with sixteen, and he ranks number 13 on their list of the top 250 directors. <SEP> Wuthering Heights is a 1959 Australian television play adapted from the novel" Wuthering Heights". It was directed by Alan Burke and based on a script by Nigel Kneale. <SEP> He was born in Naples in an aristocratic family and moved to Rome immediately after the end of World War II and spent his professional life there. Patroni Griffi is considered one of the most prominent contributors to Italian theater and film in post-war Italy. Roberto Rossellini made a movie from his play. Giuseppe Patroni Griffi( 26 February 1921 – 15 December 2005) was an Italian playwright, screenwriter, director and author. His first listed film writing credit was on the 1952 musical" Canzoni di mezzo secolo". Patroni Griffi would later direct Charlotte Rampling, Elizabeth Taylor, Marcello Mastroianni, Laura Antonelli, Florinda Bolkan, Terence Stamp, Fabio Testi. Patroni Griffi was also involved with numerous television productions of lyric opera, including Verdi's" La Traviata". His many theatrical productions include works by Pirandello, Eduardo De Filippo, Jean Cocteau and Tennessee Williams. As a writer, he published a first collection of stories in 1955," Ragazzo di Trastevere". Later, he contributed significantly to the body of Italian gay literature with" Scende giù per Toledo" and" La morte della bellezza", both set in Naples. He died in Rome. <SEP> Its original Spanish title is Abismos de pasión. In 1931, Buñuel and Pierre Unik wrote a screenplay based on the Emily Brontë novel" Wuthering Heights" but were never able to get financing. The 1954 film was produced by Óscar Dancigers and Abelardo L. Rodríguez. It stars Irasema Dilián and Jorge Mistral as the Cathy and Heathcliff characters. Wuthering Heights is a 1954 Mexican film directed by Luis Buñuel. <SEP> Famed Italian horror director Lucio Fulci contributed to the screenplay( this film was done during the time Fulci was recovering from hepatitus, so he was unable to direct it). The film is based on a story called" L'Occhio", written by filmmaker Francesco Barilli. Barilli intended to make the film himself, but had trouble securing backing and balked at the producers wanting Shelly Winters in the lead role. So he sold the idea to Griffi and let him produce and direct it, retitling it" The Trap". Barilli said of the finished product" Lets' talk frankly here, that movie sucks ..." and Fulci even used profanity alluding to his opinion of Griffi, who he felt stole his chance to direct the film. The Trap, also known as Collector's Item, Dead Fright and The Cage, is a 1985 erotic thriller directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi( his last theatrical film), and starring Tony Musante, Laura Antonelli, and Florinda Bolkan.
