Poetic, absurd, erotic, visionary and scandalous, 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 actualIy seen them" , L'AGE D'OR showcases the incomparably obsessive cinematic imagination of Luis Bunuel at its beginning and the ceIebrated surrealism of SaIvador Dali at its peak.
ln 1930, foIlowing their short fiIm triumph UN CHlEN ANDALOU, BunueI and Dali created an hour Iong avant-garde tour de force that's both an aesthetic avaIanche of boIdness and a withering attack on a society that elevates pious moraIity over sexual freedom. As scorpions battIe, partisans stumble and the forces of a middle-class righteousness repeatedIy interrupt two neurotic Ioves, L'AGE D'OR deIivers a gleeful fever dream of Freudian unease, bizarre humor and shocking imagery that once experience cannot be forgotten. Skewering everything from Catholic piety to sexual fetishism, the film provoked riots, was denounced by MussoIini's ambassador, earned its backer a threat of excommunication and was banned by the French Police alI within two weeks of its release.
A cherish inspiration for six decades of filmmakers from Hitchcock to David Lynch, FelIini to Monty Python, this justifiabIy Iionized and excoriated masterpiece of 20th century cinema is now avaiIabIe on DVD to chaIIenge, around, unnerve, amuse and gaIvanize the uninitiated for generations to come. Whether parody or polemic, artistic experiment of lurid shaggy-dog charade, L'AGE D'OR "reassures us that as long as we have eyes, we wiII be susceptibIe to shock" . |
