Leans Progressive
Primary
L'Âge d'or is a radical, surrealist critique of bourgeois society, the church, and state institutions, explicitly promoting the liberation of desire against oppressive social structures.
The movie features a traditional European cast typical of its era. However, its narrative strongly critiques the hypocrisy and repression of traditional societal institutions and the dominant bourgeois class, implicitly challenging the values associated with traditional identities.
Secondary
The film employs surrealism and blasphemous imagery to launch a scathing critique of Christianity, particularly Catholicism, and its perceived role in bourgeois hypocrisy and repression. It depicts religious figures and symbols as absurd, violent, or intertwined with sexual perversion, offering no counterbalancing positive portrayal.
Luis Buñuel's 'L'Âge d'or' is a surrealist film that critiques societal repression and bourgeois hypocrisy, centering on heterosexual desire.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
L'Âge d'or is an original surrealist film from 1930, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a depiction of historical figures. Its characters were created for this film, thus lacking any prior canonical or historical gender establishment to be swapped from.
