Screening of the cult classic film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie at ESG this Thursday
Panaji: This Thursday,11th July at 6,30 pm, Sachin Chatte will host the screening of the cult classic film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (100 mins, French and Spanish, with subtitles) directed by Luis Buñuel.
Considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and the master of surrealism in cinema, Buñuel made this film towards the end of his career, it won the Oscar for the Best Foreign Film in 1973 and was also nominated for best Screenplay. The story, if one can call it that, is about a group of people from a certain strata of the society who gather for dinner, which always gets interrupted. In Buñuel’s world, anything can happen and the reasons can be analysed in a number of ways.
‘Comedy’ would be a very loose way of categorizing the film but as Roger Ebert said, “Buñuel’s film are comedies in one way or another, but he doesn’t go for gags and punch lines; his comedy is more like a dig in the ribs, sly and painful.”
