Synopsis:

The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie is a 1972 surrealist film directed by Luis Buñuel (Belle De Jour, Viridiana). The film received the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and a nomination for Best Original Screenplay. A group of six upper middle class friends repeatedly try to have dinner together, their plans interrupted by events both real and increasingly surreal.

A complex, shifting, virtually plotless web of dreams within dreams within dreams, centered around a group of six outwardly respectable upper-middle class members of society and their repeatedly thwarted attempts to have a meal together - the interruptions becoming more and more surreal as the film progresses.

Several bourgeois friends planning to get together for dinner experience a succession of highly unusual occurrences that interfere with their expected dining enjoyment.
