The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie – 50 years anniversary
16 – 22 September, 2022
In Luis Buñuel’s deliciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-middle-class sextet sit down to a dinner that is continually delayed. Their attempts to eat are thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined including terrorist attacks, military maneuvers and ghostly apparitions.
Stringing together a discontinuous, digressive series of absurdist set pieces, Buñuel and his screenwriting partner Jean-Claude Carrière send a cast of European-film greats – including Fernando Rey, Stéphane Audran, Delphine Seyrig, Jean-Pierre Cassel and Bulle Ogier – through a maze of desire deferred, frustrated and interrupted.
The Oscar-winning pinnacle of Buñuel’s late-career ascent as a feted maestro of the international art house, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is also one of his most gleefully radical assaults on the values of the ruling class.
Screening in 4K.
Glasgow Film Theatre, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow G 6RB
