Los Ninos Abandonados

Danny Lyon
Bleak Beauty Video

Los Ninos Abandonados, 1975, Columbia, color, 63 minutes [The Abandoned Children] Spanish with English subtitles. An insipiring film with unforgetable imagery.

"Unobtrusively, Lyon records the boys' aimless daily lives. Los Ninos Abandonados is an angry film with the quiestest tones imaginable -- and is all the more persuasive for being so."
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

"Some of the finest hand-held cinematography to date."
Morgan Wesson, George Eastman House

". . . Lyon opts for compassion rather than analysis."
Scott Meek, Time Out, London.
