The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Join a special screening of the surrealist, satirical, dreamscape Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. All attendees will be entered into a giveaway sponsored by the Criterion Collection. In Luis Buñuel’s deliciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-middle-class sextet sits down to a dinner that is continually delayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined, including terrorist attacks, military maneuvers, and ghostly apparitions…The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is also one of his most gleefully radical assaults on the values of the ruling class. (Criterion Collection)

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), Directed by Luis Buñuel. 1hr 42min.

Part of PAM CUT at The Whitsell’s inaugural film series, Maximalist Dreamscapes. These bold, visionary films don’t just show what is—they construct alternate possibilities, expand our perception of the world, and open portals to entirely new dimensions.
