1930 L'Âge d'Or



 
Director:  Luis Buñuel


Cast:  Gaston Modot, Lya Lys, Max Ernst


Country: FRANCE

Notes:  Notorious surrealist feature, produced by Charles De Noaille.


Storyline:  Bunuel's first feature has more of a plot than Un Chien Andalou, but it's still a pure Surrealist film, so this is only a vague outline. A man and a woman are passionately in love with one another, but their attempts to consummate that passion are constantly thwarted, by their families, the Church and bourgeois society.
