The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) Directed by Luis Bunuel. 1hr 42min.
Join us for a special screening of the surrealist, satirical, dreamscape Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. All attendees will be entered into a Criterion Collection sponsored giveaway.In Luis Bunuel’s deliciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-middle-class sextet sits down to a dinner that is continually delayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined, including terrorist attacks, military maneuvers, and ghostly apparitions…The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is also one of his most gleefully radical assaults on the values of the ruling class.
