The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

The Ambassador of the small South American country of Miranda is trafficking in drugs with some French bourgeois friends of his. But every time they want to have dinner together, their plans are put off due to unexpected events. In their quest of a lavish feast, the dividing line between reality and dreams becomes unclear for each guest, leading to complete and utter ridicule.
The international master of surrealism, Luis Bunuel provides another masterclass in and masterpiece of oneiric filmmaking, taking the spectator through a fantastical journey of class, social and political satire, from another biting scenario by the screen-writing giant, Jean-Claude Carrière.
A director of the highest order, Bunuel’s films are a must for all film-lovers. The Discreet Charm ranks among his greatest works and duly received the Oscar for best foreign language film.
