Review of The Young and the Damned (1950) by X. T — 07 Jan 2008
Brutal and cynical, Buñuel's film proves that he's equally adept at neorealism as surrealism. The surrealist parts of the film doesn't undermine but complements the main neorealism approach.
Not many film made even today has as much balls to portray such a subject without such detachment and relentless honesty, not to mention the insight and maturity with which it is imbued. A very powerful film with a dose of black humor.
