The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise (1972)
Director: Luis Bunuel
Writers: Luis Bunuel, Jean-Claude Carriere
Stars: Fernando Rey, Paul Frankeur, Delphine Seyrig, Bulle Ogier, Stephane Audran, Jean-Pierre Cassel
Director Luis Bunuel exposes the hypocrisy of the elite in this surreal comedy.
After these people are frustrated in their efforts to observe the social niceties, Bunuel lays bare the corruption in their souls.
If you go into this expecting a cohesive narrative, you may be frustrated.
However, if you approach it as a series of surrealistic episodes that often make no logical sense, yet succeed at exposing the hypocrisy of the human animal, you may find yourself laughing (or at least smiling) at the many absurdities on display.
