Description

We continue Jess Byard July, this year all about surrealist films, with the first Luis Bunuel film we've ever covered along with possibly being the auteur's finest film: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Supporting Character's Bill Ackerman joins the episode to talk Bunuel's career, the surrealist nature of the film, and the films it went on to influence. Starring Fernando Rey as the ambassador from the fictional Miranda, he, along with a group of his middle class acquantiances, attempt to share a meal together with hilarious, bizarre, and even violent interruptions stopping their feast. It's a film unlike many others and one that rewards an active, engaged viewer with sight gags and more.
