What We Think

While shocking for its time, 'L'Âge d'or' isn’t woke by today’s standards. It gleefully undermines cultural and religious norms, but it’s more of a surrealist revolt than a modern ideological sermon. Expect audacity, not modern identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

L'Âge d'or is a piece of surrealist cinema, so its narrative is intentionally chaotic and iconoclastic. However, it doesn’t seem preoccupied with modern woke identity issues, race, gender, or forced representation. Its focus is on transgressive imagery and absurdity rather than current ideological agendas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film certainly subverts cultural foundations, especially religion and bourgeois morality, which it lampoons relentlessly. While it doesn’t target gender roles in today’s terms, its satirical attacks on tradition, the family, and the church are hard to ignore.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

L'Âge d'or is anti-establishment but not in a lockstep modern ideological fashion. It’s more about surrealist rebellion than pushing one narrow contemporary worldview. There’s a broad attack on authority, but not the kind of monoculture we see in today’s media.
