This movie is a real kick in the teeth. Crime, poverty, starvation and general misery permeate the movie's short runtime. It is both infuriating and heart-breaking; for instance, El Jaibo is absolutely despicable, but also a deeply tragic character. Buñuel throws in a few moments of surrealism (notably an extended dream sequence) and a dash of symbolism, but this is a far cry from the surreal madness of Un Chien Andalou or L'âge d'or. The madness depicted here is absolutely real.
