- Synopsis
- Several bourgeois friends planning to get together for dinner experience a succession of highly unusual occurrences that interfere with their expected dining enjoyment. A complex, shifting, virtually plotless web of dreams within dreams within dreams, centered around a group of six outwardly respectable upper-middle class members of society and their repeatedly thwarted attempts to have a meal together - the interruptions becoming more and more surreal as the film progresses.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Innovative, many layered and prevocative but very, very dated."
-
"Boasts one of the best titles in movie history and a cast to match."
-
"It combines a masterful command of the medium with a mischievous, anarchic sense of imaginative freedom."
-
"Luis Buuel's 1972 comic masterpiece, about three well-to-do couples who try and fail to have a meal together, is perhaps the most perfectly achieved and executed of all his late French films."
