Film: Los Olvidados -- The Forgotten Ones

A treasure of the international cinema canon and winner of eleven of Mexico’s top film prizes—including Best Cinematography for Gabriel Figueroa and Best Director for Luis Buñuel—Los olvidados is a master work of both social realism and social surrealism. Figueroa’s aptitude for capturing shadow and visually unearthing Mexico City’s dark underbelly makes possible Buñuel’s unflinching look at this group of street urchins, their dreams, and their sins. 

Tickets are available through the Woodruff Arts Center Box Office. This film is presented in conjunction with the High museum exhibition "Frida & Diego" on view Feb. 14 to May 11, 2013.
