In 1972, Spanish surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel(Belle de Jour) collaborated with writer Jean-Claude Carrière (Cyrano de Bergerac) to create one of the most satirical and bizarre films of modern times. Rewarded with an Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film and a nomination for Best Original Screenplay The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is about a group of six upper middle class friends who repeatedly try to have dinner together, but their plans are thwarted by events both real and increasingly surreal.
