L'Âge d'or

Opisy(1)

Luis Buńuel's second film is a surreal attack on bourgeios ideals that incited a riot when first released and still retains its power to shock. Buńuel began the film as a collaboration with Salvador Dali, but after a few days working together the two had a falling out and Buńuel made the film himself, incorporating many of Dali's ideas. Its narrative follows two nameless characters, a man and a woman, through a series of scenes connected by dreamlike logic as they try, unsuccessfully, to make love. One memorable sequence finds the couple writhing around on a cliff when a mob of socialites comes upon them and pries them apart. Frustrated, the man sees a yelping poodle and kicks it into the air.
