About

You can watch L'Âge d'or (1930) for free on Hoopla, rent on FlixFling, or buy on FlixFling.

The film consists of a series of tightly interlinked vignettes, the most sustained of which details the story of a man and a woman who are passionately in love. Their attempts to consummate their passion are constantly thwarted, by their families, by the Church and bourgeois society in general.

Surrealist provocations collide with a biting satire of bourgeois morality through a series of feverish, dreamlike vignettes. This radical relic shatters romantic conventions by pitting raw sexual desire against the suffocating constraints of the Church and family.
