The guests at an upper-class dinner party find themselves unable to leave.
This true Buñuel masterpiece is made under his unmistakably flawless direction and presents his favourite theme of exposing and ridiculing the bourgeois mindset and way of life - with surrealist means, of course.
Halliwell***: "Fascinating surrealist fantasia on themes elaborated with even more panache in The Discreet Charme of the Bourgeouisie. Nevertheless, one of its director's key films."
Maltin***1/2: "Wry assault on bourgeois manners by master surrealist Buñuel."
