What secrets lurk inside a group of wealthy sophisticates who only want a nice, pleasant dinner party? Luis Buñuel’s Oscar-winning classic is one of his signature films: a fiendishly witty comedy bouncing through reality, dreams, faith, sex, and revolution with the lightest and cheekiest touch.

Six upper-class people sit down to a dinner that is continually delayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by events both real and imagined, from terrorist attacks to ghostly apparitions. In their quest for a lavish feast, the line between reality and dreams becomes unclear, and all hell breaks loose.

Fernando Rey, Stéphane Audran, Delphine Seyrig, and Jean-Pierre Cassel head the extraordinary cast of this 1972 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film.
