The TVI Take
Six bourgeois friends attempt to have dinner but are repeatedly interrupted. Luis Buñuel's surrealist satire is formally exceptional.
Educational about the class rituals of the European bourgeoisie. The dream-within-dream structure generates exceptional cognitive engagement. One of cinema's great comedies.
