THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE (1972)

LUIS BUNUEL

Plot

The South American state of Miranda, a post-colonial idyll for a group of oblivious and decadent French ex-pats, is the setting for Bunuel's ascerbic tale. A dark, surreal and damning drama that leaves you in no doubt of the great director's Socialist sensibilities. (unfortunately the English subtitles are a bit half hearted, our apologies).
