The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie

Luis Buñuel / FR, 1972 / 102 min.

Surrealist comedy from razor-sharp satirist Luis Buñuel. A number of esteemed members of the bourgeoisie try to enjoy a dinner together. But every attempt they make to bring food to their mouths is thwarted… This absurdist classic can now be seen in a beautiful version restored in 4K.
