The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)

France / Italy / Spain
Director / Screenwriter: Luis Buñuel

I admit the first sentence came out of my mind after watching the movie was "This is fucking good." I need to use F word to express my strong appreciation. This group people of upper-middle class is always making dinner appointments but never able to actually eat anything except drinking wine. Dreams within dreams until reality and imagination finally blurred. The last scene, these people walking on the road in the field is one of the most beautiful scene I have ever seen, Buñuel left us there pondering the 100 minutes bizarre and beautiful images that criticize about the absurdity in life forever.
