"Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie)" (1972)



-revolutionary surrealist filmmaking from the master of surrealism himself Louis Buñuel

-i have never seen something, other than 'Obscure Object', so ingeniously constructed and conformed. so different and unique with an idea that could only be thought of by a true surrealist

-they never eat a single bite of food until one breaks

-like "Inception" but obviously better, there are dreams inside of dreams inside of dreams inside of dreams inside of dreams inside of dreams....

-the cinematography and color pallet were astonishingly beautiful; just in these two pictures you can feel the warmth that only Almodovar or Fellini can emit

-shocking and surprising masterpeice that resonates in our minds a long time after viewing
