Luis Bunuel

L'Age d'Or -- The first feature from cinema's unchallenged master of surrealism, L'AGE D'OR is considered one of the most notorious works of avant-garde art of the 20th Century. Riots at its premiere caused the film to be banned for decades, yet this haunting, heretical paean to mad love became an instant underground classic, available at last in this restored version. French with English subtitles.

The Ambassador of the small South American country of Miranda is trafficking in drugs with some French bourgeois friends of his.

An unhappily married woman indulges in a brief, torrid affair with an engineer, but then refuses to leave her elderly husband. Twenty five years later, the former lover leaves a fortune to her son, causing an uproar. Buñuel undermines the soap opera plot by stripping the characters on any vestige of nobility, cruelly exposing their selfishness and bourgeois hypocrisy.

Artist Salvador Dali and novice (at the time) director Luis Buñuel came together to craft this unique film consisting of a jarring collage of absurd and deplorable images aimed at raising more than a few eyebrows. Images include a razor slicing a woman's eye, a man hauling a giant piano, ants circling a hole in a man's hand and more, including assorted detached body parts and futile murders. Originally a silent film, a score was later added.
