The great 1972 Bunuel classic surrealist tour-de-force, featuring Fernando Rey (the bad guy in The French Connection).  There isn't much of a plot...Rey and several others are together to have dinner, but...well, they just plain can't.  It's sort of a companion piece to Bunuel's 1962 classic The Exterminating Angel, in which several people are having dinner together, and then can't leave.  Or, they won't.  They CAN leave...they just...can't...or won't.

Bunuel satirizes the class system, and just about anything and everything else he's been fond of skewering.  The film won the Best Foreign Film Oscar.  Bunuel accepted the award dressed in an outfit that can be best described at the World's Greatest Captain Beefheart Imitation.
