When Luis Buñuel’S L’ Âge D’Or Was Premiered On No­Vember 29, 1930, It Hit A Raw Nerve, Having A Potent Effect On The Audience Through Its Radical And Some­Times Scandalous Imagery. Banned For Fifty Years, Buñuel’S Early Surrealist Masterpiece Continues To Ex­Ert An Enormous Influence On The Artistic Medium Of Film. L’ Âge D’Or Is Based On The Structure Of The Surre­Alist Game Of The Cadavre Exquis And Consists Of Six Individual, Linked Sequences. Following This Format, The Scorpion’S Sting Presents Original Reinterpreta­Tions Of These Episodes By The International Contem­Porary Artists John Bock, Chicks On Speed, Keren Cytter, M + M, Julian Rosefeldt, And Tobias Zielony. Created Specifically For This Joint Project, Their Works Are Radi­Cal Creations, Documented By Extensive Illustrations And Original Film Scripts Included In The Publication.
