Radically funny black comedy about three upper-class couples whose dinner engagements are always interrupted by some unusual incident. Winner of the year’s Best Foreign Film, it exercised a seemingly metaphoric approach and employed some of Buñuel’s trademark surreal transgressions, the real charm being the hilarious parts in the form of dreams.

Brilliant plot for a film, with superb execution, and the dream sequences are pretty much the funniest things ever

Movie Reviews (part 4) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: Impressive what can happen when snobs with eyes only for food gets interrupted all the time and have meaningless paranoid dreams. Absurd and hilariously surreal movie. The Downs: Hard to absorb after just one viewing. Needs many viewings to really be appreciated."

"Well what do you know, my first surreal movie. I wanted to watch one because of many surreal cinema lists I occasionally see on Listal but well, I have seen one now and to my dismay, I don't know what to put in here. lol On surface, it is about a group of people who keeps trying to get a chance to have a meal together and every time something else happens. I like French and Italian movies because of the accent and because it sounds cool and I have no idea what do they say but language has a char"

" A surrealist social and political satire. Cinematography may have changed but the political landscape feels that it has changed very little."
