Luis Buñuel made avant-garde films such as "Dogs of Andalus" and "The Golden Age" from 1928 to 1930, but he stopped making them between 1932 and 1947, and this "Forgotten Man" is his revival. A masterpiece of prestige. The film refuses to be provocative or label the characters, but let the audience experience the scenes in the film. The director turns the camera to the modern city full of dirt and sin, and places his attention on those forgotten teenagers. The story of "The Destroyed Boy" has been deeply explored, and it has a fairly straightforward depiction of the icy cruelty of the real society and the killing and death it creates, but with a strong pessimistic tone. Actors are mostly non-professional teenagers. The film won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
