L'Âge d'Or (The Golden Age)1930 7 of 8

Want to see the complete movie, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8ehSHdfgqA L'Âge d'Or (The Golden Age) is a 1930 surrealist film directed by Luis Buñuel and written by Buñuel and Salvador Dalí.
On 3 December 1930, a group of incensed members of the fascist League of Patriots threw ink at the screen, assaulted members of the audience, and destroyed art works by Dalí, Joan Miró, Man Ray, Yves Tanguy and others on display in the lobby. On 10 December, the Prefect of Police of Paris, Jean Chiappe, arranged to have the film banned after the Board of Censors reviewed the film. A contemporary Spanish newspaper condemned the film as ...the most repulsive corruption of our age... the new poison which judaism, masonry, and rabid, revolutionary sectarianism want to use in order to corrupt the people. The Noailles family pulled the film from distribution for nearly 50 years. In 1933, it was screened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, but the film did not have its official United States premiere until 1-15 November 1979 at the Roxie Cinema in San Francisco.

Dude must have been totally stoned when he got side tracked from making out with homegirl and decided to stare at that statues foot. I wonder what he was thinking about????

Una pasión desatada. Nuestros sueños son así. Pero nos vuelven a frustrar. ¿Cuando? Al despertar...A veces soñar es dulce y despertar es terrible.

Todas las películas de Buñuel me gustan pero esta por ser muda, tiene una misticidad inigualable. Me encanta cuando cae la jirafa.
