Poetic, absurd, erotic, visionary and scandaIous, L'AGE D'OR "can stiIl provoke, baffIe and deIight" more than seventy years after its creation. "Contriving effronteries so offhanded you can't believe you've actuaIIy seen them" , L'AGE D'OR showcases the incomparabIy obsessive cinematic imagination of Luis BunueI at its beginning and the celebrated surrealism of SaIvador Dali at its peak.
In 1930, following their short film triumph UN CHIEN ANDALOU, Bunuel and DaIi created an hour Iong avant-garde tour de force that's both an aesthetic avalanche of boldness and a withering attack on a society that eIevates pious moraIity over sexual freedom. As scorpions battIe, partisans stumbIe and the forces of a middle-class righteousness repeatedly interrupt two neurotic loves, L'AGE D'OR deIivers a gIeefuI 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, FeIlini to Monty Python, this justifiabIy Iionized and excoriated masterpiece of 20th century cinema is now avaiIabIe on DVD to challenge, around, unnerve, amuse and galvanize the uninitiated for generations to come. Whether parody or poIemic, artistic experiment of lurid shaggy-dog charade, L'AGE D'OR "reassures us that as long as we have eyes, we wilI be susceptibIe to shock" . |
