Overview

Six well-to-do characters hoping to have a meal together are repeatedly frustrated in their plans by the various strangers they encounter -– or is their failure to eat really the consequence of their own complacency, deceits and insecurities? Buñuel’s deliciously mischievous comedy of bourgeois manners boasts a pleasingly unpredictable storyline and a truly magnificent cast on peak form.
