Summary

We conclude French Month with Luis Bunuel’s 1930 film L’Age D’Or. Released in the wake of the Sound revolution, the film straddles the line between silence and sound presenting a series of stories that represent the five prismatic segments of a scorpion’s tail.

Rob St. Mary and Robert Bellissimo join Mike to discuss this surrealist classic.
