Le charme discret
de la bourgeoisie (1972)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 6/11

6/11: For some reason, when I picked up Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie), I thought it was based on the short piece entitled Le bourgeois gentilhomme, but I turned out to be wrong.

Initially, it was off to a decent start until the random dreams appeared. Thereafter, I lost interest and was bored stiff to the end.

Meant to be a film that's full of ironies, it might have hit the mark perfectly well because somebody walked into the room and watched with me for like five minutes. Suddenly, he asked me if it was supposed to be funny. I replied, "Well, I thought so, too."

All in all, thanks, Luis Buñuel, for wasting my time.
