Louis Bunuel, a celebrated Spanish film maker, told his biographer after having settled in Mexico an anecdote about city’s culture: ‘a man enters an apartment building and requests the caretaker to guide him to a certain apartment. The caretaker tells him to go to the next building. When he goes to the next building, he is told that the apartment he is looking for is in the first building he came from. He goes back and wants to know why he has been misguided. The caretaker takes his pistol out and shoots the man. The next morning the leading newspaper carries the news; a man killed for wanting to know too much’.
