What do you get when you mixed Dali and Bunuel? Something like Un Chien andalou ; a totally weird and hardly comprehensible film, but amazingly interesting to analyse. L'âge d'or is a perfect suite to Un Chien Andalou. With a script that can be followed (at the opposite of Un Chien Andalou), there is a lot of direct attack to the church and the bourgoisie, as always in Bunuel film. The message are subtiles, but strong. I watched this movie twice the same day the first time I saw it and honestly, it is a must have for any movie lovers! Worth the 22$!

This early movie is I guess some sort or artsie nonsence, as it has absolutly no story line, and at times it's not only weird, it plain psyco, with some occasional downright disturbing footage. I suppose there is a sort of barely discernable romantic theme, but it's not unlike a Dali concept as far as that is concerned.
One can't help but scratch ones head after watching this movie, and wonder what the heck you were just wasting an hour on. The only reason I didn't give it a single star is simply because of the age and it's place in French History, whatever that might be. No doubt people at the time would have been hard pressed to even give it one star.

I've changed my mind. After seeing and rating other movies I give this one star...but I can't change the rating now...but can only "edit".
