Hell-bent on revenge, cocky reform-school runaway El Jaibo returns to his old neighborhood in post-World-War-II Mexico City's poor and squalid slums, to reunite with his faithful gang of juvenile delinquents and street urchins. However, as the dangerous ringleader lives and breathes retribution, his destructive obsession to find the informant who supposedly sent him to jail will intricately interweave his bitter fate with that of Pedro, his weak, unwitting accessory, in a despicable act of pure evil.

Movie Reviews

City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul - 10/10 by Rob NelsonThe mean older sibling of every hell-is-for-children shocker from Pixote to Kids and Ratcatcher.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Dave KehrBuñuel's apparent lack of compassion for his juvenile delinquents is what finally makes the film an unusually powerful social document and a disturbing piece of drama.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittThis masterpiece of 1950 is a brutally candid tale of Mexican street life, laced with Bunuel's surrealistic touches.
Time Out - 10/10 by Nick FunnellIt's a masterpiece that tangles individual and social ills into a knot, which, as we're warned in an opening voiceover, it offers no easy way to untie, rousing a sickening sense of injustice.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by David ParkinsonBunuel's superb and uncompromising portrait of the the debasement of humanity in certain situations retains all of its original power.
BBC.com - 10/10 by Tom DawsonA hugely influential, matter-of-factly brilliant film.
New Times - 10/10 by Gregory WeinkaufMasterfully moving and as relevant (or more) today as over half a century ago.
Seattle Times - 10/10 by Jeff ShannonEvery viewing of Los Olvidados offers further proof of its perfection.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe brilliantly acrimonious film is about connecting poverty with juvenile street crime.
Village Voice - 9/10 by J. HobermanOnce seen, this movie can never be forgotten.
