Luis Bunuel's L'Age d'Or provoked such a fierce reaction among the Right that it was almost immediately banned by the French authorities after its release and not shown for another 50 years (it was finally allowed to play in Paris again in 1980). Suffice it to say, when you see it, you'll understand why: especially the final sequence.
Bunuel and Dali's surreal visions of tireless yet unfulfilled lovers through time imposed upon by "polite" society and driven to (in his case) madness and atheism and (in her case) nymphomania and desperate debauchery is a wild and amazing work of art.
