The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
“Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language film 1973”
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.
VIBE
This film feels like an elegant, perpetually interrupted dream, where the mundane becomes hilariously absurd. It's a sharp, witty dissection of social pretense, delivered with a disarming surrealism that keeps you delightfully off-kilter. Expect sophisticated satire wrapped in a dreamlike, anarchic comedic package.
