The Young and the damned Los Olvidados

Overview

Buñuel's study of street gangs in Mexico City; part social commentary, part surrealistic art. The film is entirely based on actual incidents and all characters are authentic. The film focuses on Pedro who becomes involved with a malevolent gang of delinquents; and, on Jaibo, an older, more hardened youth, who leads Pedro deeper into the world of crime. Despite Pedro's attempts to reform, he moves inevitably toward tragedy
