Today, ''L'Age d'Or'' is widely regarded as one of the key works of [[surrealist cinema]]. British critic [[Philip French]] noted that the film, alongside Buñuel's ''[[Un Chien Andalou]]'' (1929), featured "bizarre sequences that assault bourgeois values and sexual oppression while making no logical sense, and they were acclaimed by the leading arbiters of surrealism as the first authentic surrealist films".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/may/29/lage-dor-bunuel-chien-andalou-philip-french|title=L'Age d'Or/ Un Chien Andalou|last=French|first=Philip|author-link=Philip French|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|date=28 May 2011|access-date=7 March 2016}}</ref> In the [[British Film Institute]]'s 2012 ''[[Sight & Sound]]'' polls, 15 critics and six directors named ''L'Age d'Or'' one of their 10 favorite films in history.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6a5074d0|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312050922/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6a5074d0|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 March 2016 |title=L'Age d'Or (1930)|publisher=British Film Institute|access-date=7 March 2016}}</ref> Ed Gonzalez of ''[[Slant Magazine|Slant]]'' analyzed the film's [[sound design]] in relation to his argument that Buñuel's overriding message is the ability of love to "conquer all sorts of moral restraints".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/lage-dor/|title=L'Age d'Or|last=Gonzalez|first=Ed|magazine=[[Slant Magazine]]|date=17 April 2002}}</ref>
