The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Luis Buñuel, 1972
Three bourgeois friends are constantly prevented from meeting for a meal due to various obstacles, such as mistaken dates, delays, and even police intervention. The storyline is interspersed with dreamlike scenes and narratives, which contribute to the film’s strange atmosphere. For example, a soldier recounts a dream at an inopportune moment, and a young officer shares a childhood story with his friends’ wives in a teahouse.
