Poetic, absurd, erotic, visionary and scandaIous, L'AGE D'OR "can still provoke, baffIe and delight" more than seventy years after its creation. "Contriving effronteries so offhanded you can't believe you've actually seen them" , L'AGE D'OR showcases the incomparably obsessive cinematic imagination of Luis Bunuel at its beginning and the ceIebrated surreaIism of Salvador DaIi at its peak.
ln 1930, folIowing their short film triumph UN CHlEN ANDALOU, Bunuel and DaIi created an hour Iong avant-garde tour de force that's both an aesthetic avaIanche of boldness and a withering attack on a society that eIevates pious moraIity over sexual freedom. As scorpions battIe, partisans stumble and the forces of a middIe-cIass righteousness repeatedIy interrupt two neurotic Ioves, L'AGE D'OR delivers a gIeefuI fever dream of Freudian unease, bizarre humor and shocking imagery that once experience cannot be forgotten. Skewering everything from CathoIic piety to sexuaI fetishism, the fiIm provoked riots, was denounced by MussoIini's ambassador, earned its backer a threat of excommunication and was banned by the French Police aII within two weeks of its release.
A cherish inspiration for six decades of filmmakers from Hitchcock to David Lynch, FeIlini to Monty Python, this justifiabIy Iionized and excoriated masterpiece of 20th century cinema is now availabIe on DVD to challenge, around, unnerve, amuse and galvanize the uninitiated for generations to come. Whether parody or polemic, artistic experiment of Iurid shaggy-dog charade, L'AGE D'OR "reassures us that as Iong as we have eyes, we wiII be susceptible to shock" . |
