The Savory Charm of This Film.
21 September 2000
Bunuel is the godfather of Surreal-cinema. In this film Bunuel limns a tale of an oddball dinner-party group, that finds themselves going to every extreme possible. However, considering every episode they encounter, they never finish one meal. This film utilizes common surrealist resources; absurdity, shock value, and repetition which Bunuel has mastered. If you like this film also check out Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel, which was the precursor to the one in question.
