L'Âge d'or (1930)
Directed by Luis Buñuel
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.

What critics compared L'Âge d'or to
The documentary's contention that Jodorowsky's early films inspired riots could be cribbed from tales from the L'age d'or/Werner Herzog oral history.
If it’s the dream logic and surreal content that appeal to you here, you’re directed to Eraserhead’s forebears: Luis Buñuel’s Un Chien andalou and L’Âge d’or .
All the pre-launch rumblings, the rants and the raves, testify to a cunning provocation, and, if we yield to it, we’re not joining a debate; we’re offering our services, unpaid, to the marketing department at Warner Bros. When Dalí and Buñuel made “L’Âge d’Or” (1930), they wanted to start a riot, and they succeeded, but “Joker” yearns for little more than a hundred op-ed pieces and a firestorm of tweets.
