International Classics: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

Hosted by Fred Craden

This deliciously satiric masterpiece follows an upper-middle-class sextet that sits down to a dinner that is continually delayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined, including terrorist attacks, military maneuvers, and ghostly apparitions. The Oscar-winning pinnacle of Luis Buñuel’s late-career, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie sends a cast of European-film greats - including Fernando Rey, Stéphane Audran, Delphine Seyrig, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and Bulle Ogier - through a maze of desire deferred, frustrated, and interrupted.
