Attempts to get it on

L'Age d'Or (1930)

Directed by Luis Bunuel this film stars Gaston Modot, Lya Lys, Caridad de Laberdesque and Max Ernst. A bunch of weird stuff happens and a couple try to have sex.

Buried with in the wandering surrealist dream that is this film is a condemnation religious and class repression of sexual urges. Unfortunately at times the thrust of the film gets lost in the seemingly bizarre and unrelated elements that litter the film. Certainly this film is something you need to have a specific taste for, the rest of us are just left bemused.


3/5
