Gaston Modot Lya Lys
Plot
A surrealist film about two lovers kept apart by society.
Sinekatalog’s take
Luis Buñuel's surrealist feature, an attack on church and bourgeois society, follows two lovers frustrated at every turn. Provocative and scandalous in 1930, it still retains its anarchic spirit.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
