The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Directed by Luis Buñuel
Produced by Greenwich Film Production
A surrealist satire that uses the repeated failure of a dinner party to dismantle bourgeois pretension through dreamlike absurdity and anarchic comedy.
In Luis Buñuel’s deliciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-class sextet sits down to dinner but never eats, their attempts continually thwarted by a vaudevillian mixture of events both actual and imagined.
