[BUÑUEL (Luis) - DALI (Salvador)]
"Program Review" of the film The Golden Age by Luis Buñuel.
Paris: Studio 28, 1930. - Booklet in-8, 220 x 135: 36, 12 pp. printed cover. Paperback. 

The Golden Age is a film directed by Luis Buñuel in 1930 on a script co-written with Salvador Dali. An avant-garde and surrealist film par excellence, it was commissioned by Charles de Noailles, whose wife, Marie-Laure de Noailles, of Jewish descent, was one of the most important fortunes in France. The first screening took place in July 1930 in the De Noailles mansion, then on October 22 at the Pantheon Rive gauche and finally twice on November 28 and December 3, 1930 at the Studio 28 cinema in Montmartre. It was during this screening on December 3 that the theater was ransacked by extreme right-wing militants shouting "Let's see if there are still Christians in France!" and "Death to the Jews"; they threw ink on the screen, threw smoke bombs and stink bombs, and forced the spectators to leave. The film was immediately censored for its anti-patriotic and, above all, anti-Christian statements and was seized on December 12.

This "Revue-programme" was published for the screenings at Studio 28 in 1930. It is divided into 2 parts head to tail. The most important part, of 38 pages, is dedicated to Buñuel's film. It begins with a small text of Dali: "My general idea in writing with Bunuel the scenario of the Golden Age was to present the straight and pure line of "conduct" of a being who pursues love through the ignoble humanitarian, patriotic ideals and other miserable mechanisms of the reality". Following are the script, subtitles, dialogue, a long text on the film ending with the one entitled Social Aspect - subversive elements signed by the main members of the surrealist current at the time, the "Catalogue of works exhibited at Studio 28 for the first performance", a catalog of surrealist books on sale at the Corti bookstore, and thirty black photographs of the film.
These texts are illustrated with compositions by Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Jean Arp, Yves Tanguy, Man Ray and Joan Miro, reproduced in black in the text.
Copy without the errata page.
Tears and folds to the cover.
