Days later he kills, in front of Pedro, the boy he blames for having sent him to the reformatory; from that incident the fates of Pedro and Jaibo are tragically joined.[16](https://informe.cndh.org.mx/uploads/nodos/10881/content/files/Libro%20Ciclo%20cine%20debate.pdf) Pedro tries to reform and win back his mother's affection, but Jaibo robs him of the money given to him on trial by the reformatory's director; Pedro publicly accuses Jaibo of the murder, and Jaibo beats him to death before being shot by the police while fleeing, after being tipped off by the blind beggar Don Carmelo, one of his victims.[15](https://revistas.usp.br/significacao/article/download/65603/68213/0) • [17](https://www.sensacine.com.mx/peliculas/pelicula-1997/) The film closes on Jaibo's dying face and his imagined dialogue with an absent mother's voice.[15](https://revistas.usp.br/significacao/article/download/65603/68213/0)\n\n## Production\n\nBuñuel had arrived in Mexico in the mid-1940s after being dismissed from his job at the [Museum of Modern Art](https://www.edgepedia.org/museum-of-modern-art) in New York following [Salvador Dalí](https://www.edgepedia.org/salvador-dali)'s accusations against him in a book, where Dalí called him an atheist and a leftist.[8](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/10/15/los-olvidados-la-inolvidable-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-cadena-ser/) After the commercial failure of *Gran Casino* and the better reception of *El gran calavera*, the producer Óscar Dancigers proposed that he make \"a story about the poor children of Mexico\".[9](https://dialnet.unirioja.es/descarga/libro/583797/1.pdf) • [10](https://www.gob.mx/cultura/prensa/120-anos-del-nacimiento-de-luis-bunuel?idiom=es-MX)\n\n**Research and shooting.** Buñuel spent months documenting the subject, walking through marginal neighborhoods, reformatories, and juvenile courts, and, in preparation, spent six months wandering the poorest neighborhoods of Mexico City.[7](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/21/la-pelicula-censurada-que-tardo-13-anos-en-estrenarse-en-espana-cadena-ser/) • [10](https://www.gob.mx/cultura/prensa/120-anos-del-nacimiento-de-luis-bunuel?idiom=es-MX) A UNAM thesis records that he visited Nonoalco, the plaza of Romita in the colonia Roma, and neighborhoods of Tacubaya to talk with residents.[11](https://tesiunamdocumentos.dgb.unam.mx/pd2006/0603191/0603191.pdf) The film was shot in twenty-one days, between 6 February and 9 March 1950, at the former Tepeyac studios and at real locations, including the Tlalpan correctional farm and the open lots of the colonia Doctores, where the steel structures of the then-under-construction [National Medical Center](https://www.edgepedia.org/national-medical-center) appear as silent witnesses to Julián's murder.[11](https://tesiunamdocumentos.dgb.unam.mx/pd2006/0603191/0603191.pdf) The production cost 450,000 pesos, a low figure compared with foreign productions of the time.[12](https://www.scielo.org.mx/pdf/desacatos/n14/n14a10.pdf)\n\nThe playwright [Max Aub](https://www.edgepedia.org/max-aub) and the Mexican writer Pedro de Urdimalas helped with the script, Urdimalas being key to making the dialogue credible in the mouths of Mexican characters.[13](https://decine21.com//peliculas/los-olvidados-1950-8623) Urdimalas later asked to have his on-screen credit removed in response to a result he considered gloomy and depressing.[12](https://www.scielo.org.mx/pdf/desacatos/n14/n14a10.pdf) Buñuel let the non-professional and young actors speak as they wished and used external stimuli to obtain natural reactions.[14](https://tesiunamdocumentos.dgb.unam.mx/ppt1997/0225819/0225819.pdf)\n\n## Reception in Mexico and abroad\n\nThe film's initial Mexican reception was hostile. Spectators at early screenings reacted with indignation at the image of Mexican identity presented by Buñuel, and influential figures in Mexican intellectual and cinematic life accused him of betraying the country that had taken him in.[15](https://revistas.usp.br/significacao/article/download/65603/68213/0) Sources disagree on how long the film stayed in theaters: SensaCine reports three days, the Spanish film scholar Juan Carlos Ibáñez and Manuel Palacio's account four days in capital cinemas, and Cadena SER one week before it was withdrawn.[17](https://www.sensacine.com.mx/peliculas/pelicula-1997/) • [15](https://revistas.usp.br/significacao/article/download/65603/68213/0) • [2](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/20/los-olvidados-la-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-que-triunfo-en-cannes-y-que-no-gusto-en-mexico-cadena-ser/) The filmmaker Javier Espada, director of the documentary *Memoria de Los olvidados*, explains the rejection by the unwillingness of Mexican cinema of the period to show misery, poverty, or delinquency.[2](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/20/los-olvidados-la-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-que-triunfo-en-cannes-y-que-no-gusto-en-mexico-cadena-ser/)\n\n**Cannes and reversal.** Supporters of the film, including the young writer [Octavio Paz](https://www.edgepedia.org/octavio-paz), managed to enter it in the Cannes Film Festival, where Buñuel won Best Director in 1951.[15](https://revistas.usp.br/significacao/article/download/65603/68213/0) • [8](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/10/15/los-olvidados-la-inolvidable-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-cadena-ser/) The film was re-released in Mexico at the Prado cinema to a successful consensus of public and critics, and at the Ariel ceremony it received eleven awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.[12](https://www.scielo.org.mx/pdf/desacatos/n14/n14a10.pdf) • [2](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/20/los-olvidados-la-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-que-triunfo-en-cannes-y-que-no-gusto-en-mexico-cadena-ser/) The director Carlos Saura, a friend of Buñuel, described the Cannes prize as the start of a new, productive stage in Buñuel's career, after years in which he had not recovered his reputation in Mexico.[2](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/20/los-olvidados-la-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-que-triunfo-en-cannes-y-que-no-gusto-en-mexico-cadena-ser/)\n\nIn Spain, the Francoist censors reviewed five reels and then banned the film outright as spiritually harmful to audiences of any kind; it could not be shown in Spanish cinemas until 1964.[2](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/20/los-olvidados-la-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-que-triunfo-en-cannes-y-que-no-gusto-en-mexico-cadena-ser/) • [6](https://sede.mcu.gob.es/CatalogoICAA/es-es/Peliculas/Detalle?Pelicula=401050)\n\n## Style and interpretation\n\nThe [British Film Institute](https://www.edgepedia.org/british-film-institute) describes the film as drawing on first-hand accounts and harking to the neorealist films of its day, while refusing their occasional sentimentality: the poor in the film are not ennobled by poverty but are shown as predatory, robbing even the crippled and the blind.[18](https://www.bfi.org.uk/film/7dba06ad-2d2e-56ff-aa00-6ad6c7771d9a/los-olvidados) Cadena SER records Buñuel's two stated influences, the paintings of Francisco de Goya, especially the [Black Paintings](https://www.edgepedia.org/black-paintings), and his own documentary *Las Hurdes, tierra sin pan*, and notes that the film contains no wholly good or bad characters.[2](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/20/los-olvidados-la-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-que-triunfo-en-cannes-y-que-no-gusto-en-mexico-cadena-ser/) The Cineteca Nacional characterizes Buñuel's approach as an unsparing look at the underside of the great city that did not abandon the surrealist aesthetic of his early work.[4](https://www.cinetecanacional.net/detallePelicula.php?FilmId=HO00001657) The film also contains dream sequences, including Pedro's nightmare on returning home, and symbolic elements such as the repeated presence of hens.[17](https://www.sensacine.com.mx/peliculas/pelicula-1997/) • [2](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2026/04/20/los-olvidados-la-pelicula-de-luis-bunuel-que-triunfo-en-cannes-y-que-no-gusto-en-mexico-cadena-ser/)\n\nScholars have placed the film in the context of the Spanish republican exile: it was the first film Buñuel made in exile after seventeen years of propaganda and commercial work, and it crossed an aesthetic operation (cinema as an instrument of poetry), an ideological one (a left critique of neorealism), and a cultural one, in which the image of Mexico became the starting point of the new Latin American social cinema.[15](https://revistas.usp.br/significacao/article/download/65603/68213/0) It has also been read as a precedent for the politically committed, formally experimental auteur cinema that emerged in Latin America from the mid-1950s.[19](https://www.palermo.edu/dyc/publicaciones/cuadernos/pdf/Cuaderno18.pdf)\n\n## Legacy and preservation\n\nThe film ranks high in retrospective assessments. In 1994 the Mexican magazine *Somos* assembled a panel of critics, historians, and professionals to choose the hundred best films in the history of Mexican cinema; *Los olvidados* placed second, behind *[Vámonos con Pancho Villa!](https://www.edgepedia.org/vamonos-con-pancho-villa)* (1935).[15](https://revistas.usp.br/significacao/article/download/65603/68213/0) It ranked joint 157th in the 2022 [Sight and Sound](https://www.edgepedia.org/sight-and-sound) critics' poll of the greatest films of all time.[18](https://www.bfi.org.uk/film/7dba06ad-2d2e-56ff-aa00-6ad6c7771d9a/los-olvidados)\n\n**Memory of the World.** The original nitrate negative of the film was inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Regional Register for Latin America and the Caribbean in 2002 and on the International Register in 2003; UNESCO describes it as the most important Spanish-language document on the life of marginalized children in large contemporary cities.[3](https://www.unesco.org/en/memory-world/lac/original-negative-luis-bunuels-los-olvidados-1950) The negative remained lost for twenty years and is now kept in the vaults of the Filmoteca de la UNAM on behalf of its owner, Televisa, which purchased the proprietary rights.[3](https://www.unesco.org/en/memory-world/lac/original-negative-luis-bunuels-los-olvidados-1950) Buñuel had secretly filmed a second ending that softened the film's tragic sense, in case censorship or conservative groups blocked the original; after the Cannes prize and the support of Mexican intellectuals, the film was successfully screened in its original version, and the alternate ending was discovered fifty years later.[3](https://www.unesco.org/en/memory-world/lac/original-negative-luis-bunuels-los-olvidados-1950)\n\nA 2019 restoration was carried out at the laboratory L'Immagine ritrovata as part of the Film Foundation's World Cinema Project, in collaboration with Fundación Televisa, Cineteca Nacional México, and the Filmoteca de la UNAM, and the restored version screened in the Cannes Classics section.[20](https://www.cinematheque.fr/film/43223.html) • [21](https://www.gaceta.unam.mx/index/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/130519.pdf) A documentary about the film, *Memoria de Los olvidados*, directed by Javier Espada, premiered in the Venice Classics section of the 82nd [Venice Film Festival](https://www.edgepedia.org/venice-film-festival).[22](https://www.imcine.gob.mx/nota.php?id=231)\n\n## References\n\n1.
