Description de l'événement
“France | Surreal Comedy
Director: Luis Buñuel
Duration: 1:42 hrs. In French with English subtitles
The work “The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie” by Luis Buñuel is a masterpiece of surreal satire: a playful and devastating critique of the rituals, hypocrisies, and illusions of the upper class. The film follows a group of bourgeois friends who try to share a meal over and over, only for their get-togethers to be interrupted by events that become increasingly absurd and inexplicable.
As dreams, fantasies, and reality blend together, the characters move through a world governed by unstable logic. Military officers, diplomats, criminals, and members of the clergy appear in a narrative that constantly undermines certainty and mocks social conventions.
Buñuel builds a universe where etiquette becomes spectacle and privilege turns into self-parody. The repetition of situations, sudden shifts in reality, and the matter-of-fact treatment of the irrational reveal the fragility of the social order that the characters are trying to preserve.
By blending surrealism with an unrelenting social critique, the film examines class, desire, religion, and power. It remains celebrated for its wit, formal finesse, and its enduring ability to reveal the hidden absurdity beneath respectable appearances.”
