“Most of the films of Luis Bunuel are comedies in one way or another, but he doesn’t go for gags and punch lines; his comedy is more like a dig in the ribs, sly and painful.”
A group of bourgeois friends plan to get together for dinner but experience a succession of highly unusual occurrences that interfere with their expected dining enjoyment. Buñuel’s surrealist classic received the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and a nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
