series Buñuel
Directed by Luis Buñuel | 1950
With Alfonso Mejía, Roberto Cobo, Estela Inda
“Transcends documentary—it’s real life, only more so.”
—Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Buñuel burst back onto the international scene with this stunningly raw portrait of disaffected Mexican youths running wild. This early masterpiece follows a gang of boys, led by a sadistic ringleader, who prey on the weak and helpless, and marries Buñuel’s trademark surrealism—most famously in a haunting, slow-motion dream sequence—with hard-edged social realism, all building up to the heart-stopping final shot. “Once seen, this movie can never be forgotten.” —J. Hoberman
