With love but without pity, Buñuel tells the story of a gang of slum kids who become delinquents as a defense against poverty and the cruelty of life on the city streets. In the characters of Jaibo, the gang leader, and Pedro, his naive victim, Buñuel makes a subtle distinction between corruption and law breaking. (Denver International Film Festival)
