The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

(Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie), Luis Buñuel / FR - IT - ES, 1962
French - Spanish version / Czech subtitles, 102 min

Un grupo de amigos de la alta sociedad se esfuerzan continuamente por encontrarse para un almuerzo, una cena conjunta, o para tomar el té. Estos intentos desembocan siempre en el fracaso, por razones absurdas o extrañas la mayoría de las veces.

A complex, shifting, virtually plotless web of dreams within dreams within dreams, centered around a group of six outwardly respectable upper-middle class members of society and their repeatedly thwarted attempts to have a meal together - the interruptions becoming more and more surreal as the film progresses.

Screened with short-film An Andalusian Dog.
