L'Age D'Or

A further watch of Dali and, importantly, Bunuel's surrealist totem
still surprisingly shocking
Bunuel's direction nothing like as elegant as later, too many cuts
the plot deliberately takes you down by the brambles, chatty even
need to play stand-and-deliver to get the dialogue right
Surrealism obviously very apparent, in a individualist tale
which means the real attack on the bourgeoisie has to be rather tacked on
still, a powerful and important film
