The failed banquets, one absurd dream after another, were linked together to become the story of "no food". Three couples of men and women with different backgrounds have been trying to have a dinner together, but repeatedly fail under increasingly absurd emergencies. And connecting these little stories are the figures of six people hurriedly running in the fields, helping them to rush from the failed meal in reality to the terrible meal in the dream.
After all, it is the director who has filmed "An Andalusian Dog" and "Beauty in the Daytime", and the surreal style watered by dreams has a smell of hunger and greed.
This is a movie with the purpose of eating from beginning to end. The middle-class guests are dressed up brightly, try to express the sense of nobility with several layers of words, and strive for perfection in table manners, but every dinner is a failure. . The wrong time was arranged, the mourning hall was found in the restaurant, the host was so busy making love that the guilty guests thought the police were coming and fled in a hurry, in the cafe and was told that the tea and coffee were sold out, the military exercise suddenly came to the home to interrupt the dinner, Using the restaurant to suddenly become a show, murder at dinner because of a verbal argument, suddenly being arrested by the police for no reason, and finally letting a group of gangsters break into the house and shoot everyone with machine guns!
Getting together for dinner is so paranoid that it's a curse to be broken, but it's absurdly obsessed with this small group's relentless insistence on perpetuating this senseless act.
In the film, the six people walk on the road three times (the same attire means that it may be this time from the beginning to the end), the person in front walks vigorously, and the person behind has to catch up even if they are a few steps behind, anxiety and inexplicable panic seem to be Whipping the crowd, as if having a dinner together is an urgent mission, even if they get together, there is no deep conversation, the boring conversation and the usual flattery are like the boring banquet we are familiar with.
The banquet itself is already a job that the middle class has to complete. The banquet itself has lost the meaning of feeding, but a theater for performances, a battlefield without gunsmoke, a tool to maintain face, and even a torture room to snoop on each other's secrets. . People are aware of the inherent shackles of this class, but they continue to succumb to its glamorous charm.
The three men's small group mainly focuses on smuggling and selling drugs, while the three women's small group is maintained by chatting at afternoon tea. However, the infatuation between the flesh makes this six-member group even more hypocritical. The twists and turns of sex is an alternative laugh point in the film. The couple who came out of the garden covered in grass can't help but make people imagine, and the infatuation that was almost smashed by the husband volatilized the sticky hormones to stimulate the audience and molested the female socialist party members who were resisted. The diplomat used hypocritical means to capture the woman. Sexual desire and appetite, the two most basic and most important desires, cannot be easily satisfied in the film. The hot weather when walking on the road in a hurry may originate from everyone's heart.
Religion has not escaped the fate of being ridiculed. After the ignorant bishop met the enemy who once killed his parents, he first forgave his crimes with Christ, and then shot him with a shotgun. The bloody violence is like every dream that appears in the film, all of which are shrouded in the shadow of murder and death. If you think about religion and the military, one uses the spirit to control the masses, the other uses weapons to control the people, both in the name of protection, and both will eradicate dissent.
This farce caused by eating finally ended in a one-person supper. The simple eating was arrogant and arrogant. Even if it was killed, it was extraordinarily unrestrained. As for the formal prudent dinner, go to hell. And some obscure metaphors, such as the cockroach of the tortured man falling from his body and falling on the piano keys, are another matter.
