SURREAL

The best thing about L'Age D'Or / The Golden Age (1930) is that it is only one hour long.

A collaboration between Louis Buñel and Salvidore Dali, it is packed full of nutty stuff from beginning to end. Nothing had been seen like it and it was censored almost totally from public showing.

Now, of course, it is rather tame compared to the kind of crazy shit that we see today.

I watched it because it was on the Best list. It was today's movie. One hour.

I think that it is a New York Times Best 1176 Film because of its history. Many scenes are quoted by other directors down the years including Hitchcock (I am told). Here is the whole magilla in a plot summary. Make of it what you will.

I made it a 1 out of Netflix5.
