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.

Danny Lyon - film maker photographer.  Danny is a film maker who takes up his own subjectivity as a personal banner. There is no hidden observer, look into the shot and you will always see the shadow of the film maker.  A film without its shadow is like a secret code never revealed.
