World Cinema brings back Luis Buñuel’s 1972 Oscar-winning The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie—a movie that proves that surrealism and art-house movies can also be fun. It has very little plot, apart from the fact that a group of bourgeois folks keep trying to sit down for a meal that never comes off. It’s also extremely strange and funny. Read my earlier review of the film here: www.mountainx.com/movies/review/discreetcharm.php.
