What is L'Age D'or/ Los Olvidados about?

L’AGE D’OR, 1930, Kino International, 60 min. Wonderfully bizarre and spun together with the allusive dictates of dream logic, the second collaboration between Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí is a series of gleefully irreverent vignettes, the most sustained of which centers on Gaston Modot and Lya Lys, lovers attempting to consummate their passion but continuously stalled by some of Bunuel’s favorite fixations - the church and the bourgeoisie! In French with English subtitles. THE YOUNG AND THE DAMNED (LOS OLVIDADOS), 1950, Kino International, 85 min. Teenage delinquent Jaibo (Roberto Cobo), fresh out of a reformatory stint, returns to the savage streets of Mexico City to head up a gang of undesirables who beat up beggars, snatch purses and loiter. But Jaibo has an insatiable itch in violent need of scratching - to settle the score with the stool pigeon who put him away. In Spanish with English subtitles. Un Chien Andalou preceds the double feature.
