In Luis Bunuel's deliciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-class sextet sits down to dinner but never eats, their attempts continually thwarted by a vaudevillian mixture of events both actual and imagined. Fernando Rey, Stephane Audran, Delphine Seyrig, and Jean-Pierre Cassel head the extraordinary cast of this 1972 Oscar winner for best foreign film. On the occasion of Bunuel's 100th birthday, Criterion is proud to present The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie in an exclusive special-edition double-disc set.
