The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

Director
Luis Bunuel
Certificate
15
Running Time
102 mins

Luis Bunuel’s most popular surrealist satire, which bagged the 1972 Best Foreign Film Oscar.

A bunch of bourgeois pals gather at a house for dinner, only to find their host absent. Attempts to finish their meal are interrupted by a series of increasingly absurd events, during which Bunuel sticks it to his favourite targets: the church, the state and the army.
