L'Age d'or

Eighty years later, the masterpiece of surrealist cinema is still as brilliant, witty and shocking as when it first came out. Out of the genius of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, L'Age d'or offers a unique blend between raw visual poetry and poignant social critique. Through the sinister yet moving chronicle of a young couple eager to consummate their love, the film accentuates a tone of subversive eroticism and provocatively dissects thoughts and values considered civilized. For this, it was banned and despised for several years.
