Food movies we love: The Discreet CharmPosted Jun 27th 2006 5:42PM by Anne MetzFiled under: Dinner, Television/Film, America, EuropeIf you've ever had the pleasure of renting Spanish director Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, you'll understand exactly why this is another Food Movie We Love.What's so "charming" about this film is that it basically lacks a plot or a narrative structure. In fact, the whole 102 minutes of this film center around a single, simple conceit: the thwarted dinner party. With a cast of snooty French citizens and a surrealist ax to grind, Bruñuel takes the viewer on a wild, winding trip through the absurd distractions in the everyday life of the French bourgeosie.Just don't try to watch it on an empty stomach...
