Description

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of the birth of the legendary surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel, Cinecitta proudly presents two of his most influential films. These works showcase his approach to surrealism, his biting social critique, and his mastery of absurdist storytelling. Buñuel's films remain as relevant as ever, exploring themes such as power, class, religion, and the absurdity of human existence. From the anarchistic rebellion against bourgeois conventions in The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie to the exploration of forbidden desires in Belle de Jour, Buñuel’s films challenge societal norms and reveal uncomfortable truths about the human condition. Luis Buñuel's 1972 classic The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is a satirical and absurdist take on the hypocrisy and social conventions of the bourgeoisie. The film follows a group of wealthy friends who continually attempt to dine together, only to be interrupted by bizarre and inexplicable events. Buñuel uses these comedic disruptions to expose the superficiality of their existence and their struggle to maintain a pretense of social decorum. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is a masterpiece of cinematic rebellion, where Buñuel brilliantly unmasks the supposed civility of the bourgeoisie while challenging the audience to reflect on the absurdity of their own social conventions.
