L'Âge d'or

• Romance
• Comedy
• Drama

A defiant and surreal challenge to bourgeois morality unfolds through interconnected, provocative vignettes, centered on a couple’s frustrated desire for sensual liberation. Their passionate connection, repeatedly interrupted by societal constraints – family, the Church, and rigid social norms – is expressed through deliberately shocking imagery and anarchic humor. Beyond satirical critique, the film offers a darkly playful exploration of forbidden love amidst a decaying aristocratic world, punctuated by dreamlike sequences and unconventional symbolism, creating a film that is simultaneously celebratory and destructive. This silent work forgoes narrative coherence for a visceral, emotionally charged experience, seeking not to tell a story, but to dismantle expectations of both romance and cinematic form.
