It wouldn't be a Buñuel film unless someone

It wouldn't be a Buñuel film unless someone maims an animal. Los Olvidados is one of the great depicitions of poverty in film - here as a despondent mire whose victims are taken in regardless of whether or not they are appropriately deserving. Some may find themselves fallen by chance, others as a result of some misdeed performed against them, others inevitably due to some vice, but all become trapped in an inescapable cycle where efforts to better ones position are met most often with failure. The most disturbing aspect that the film portrays is the common nature of mutual harm among those at the bottom; instead of recognizing opportunities, it is often jealousy or greed that motivates Buñuel's characters to act in ways that perpetuate the cycle of hate. The surrealist elements aren't necessarily as prevalent in Los Olvidados as in other films from the director, and it lacks some of his trademark off-kilter humor, but Buñuel still succeeds in creating an important piece of social criticism. (4.5/5)

Bunuel's masterpiece. Brutal but honest portrayal of poverty

Bunuel's masterpiece. Brutal but honest portrayal of poverty and the products of it. There is no Aladdin in these Mexico City slums. All of the characters have depth to them that prevent them from being just cliches you expect from such story. The poor blind man is not going to be a wise mentor, the mother isn't going to be a virtue of patience and compassion and the bad boy isn't going to do amoral and heinous things just because he just likes them. In the end of such story, there is nothing but despair.

Brutal portrayal of the lives of Mexican street

Brutal portrayal of the lives of Mexican street kids. Like a non singing non dancing latter day Oliver Twist with more murder and predatory seedy adults involved. Not a heart warmer.
