A film about the fallacies of bourgeoisie superiority that fits snugly into Buñuel's canon, distinguishing itself with seemingly light-hearted vignettes built around the consistent failure of a group of upper class, which upon closer inspection has a much sharper...

The magic realism of serious nonsense, ridiculed to the limit, a meal that will never be eaten. The nesting at the Colonel's house was especially magical. The actresses' faces and clothes are so beautiful. It’s a pity that the English dubbed version on Tencent is not the original sound, but I recently found that many films of that era were dubbed later, so the sound field has always been...

I watched it three times in a few days. The first two times had intermittent naps, and the third time was completed in one go. Buñuel is really powerful. The treatment of dreams in dreams is direct but not rigid, blurring the boundaries between reality and dreams, and the volume is too large. Knowing the bourgeoisie and Freud well, the movie is humorous and ironic, the revolution is not a dinner party, but the bourgeoisie is a dinner party. Dreams are projections of reality, and dreams reflect...

Scattered dreams are seamlessly interspersed with reality. The layered structure of dreams in dreams is ingenious and novel. It ruthlessly satirizes the hypocritical, pretentious and hypocritical little bourgeois disease of the bourgeoisie. Walking to a banquet in the countryside constitutes a shining light. The scenery, exquisite cuisine, table manners, and silk and satin show the dignity and luxury, and the enviable life is wrapped in absurd...

Eating is the foundation of life, and dreaming is the greatest way to solve emptiness. People with spare time and money rushed to various dinners with graceful gestures and dressed up to attend. When they were forced to, they didn’t have to gobble it all down. Only the footsteps on the way to the banquet urged them to move towards desire and panic. go ahead. The food is on the table, but you just can't eat it - an inescapable nightmare of...

Two real dreams: one is to kill his father, and the other is to find his mother. The godfather became a middle-class gardener, while his father was killed by the lower class. The middle class roams and idles at both ends. No father, no mother,...

The constantly nested dream is also a rehearsal of the real living state. When the basic desires of people/the "eating" of survival events become eternal, the continuous disruption of the narrative creates a discrete theme full of alienation, and splicing it out. Different but equally false portraits of the bourgeoisie in the form of a polygonal prism: shortsighted, inflamed, animalistic thirst for sex, self-willed to violent desires, departure and dissolution of faith and loyalty... And all of...

1. An impossible meal, changing between reality and surreal; 2. Various satires; 3. Dramatic...

The first time I watched Buñuel’s feature film, the laugh point was too deep and unfathomable, it was hard to laugh; some fragmentary paragraphs are indeed a bit interesting, but as a whole, the film is really...

I finally got to see the real content of this film. To be honest, it is very interesting. There are some strange dreams, and the banquet full of black and absurd. What kind of deconstructionism, what kind of bourgeois truth, it seems that it doesn’t matter to me at all Now, this kind of film doesn't have to be seen thoroughly, it's better to leave some blank space, the bearded ambassador also starred in a quintet. The actors are really versatile, but they were born out of...
