I think Bunuel is not only poking fun at the upper crust, but he is also enjoying himself immensely by depriving us of our expectations, or even more so – standing our expectations on their heads.

I mean who expects the Bishop to show up as a gardner. Who expects the Army, out in the field on maneuvers, to crash the dinner. The more times they tried to have that dinner, the more absurd the interruptions became.

Thanks for bringing this film to mind and for the great read.

That could have been interesting.

It was a clever movie, but perhaps because it’s been copied so often (and perhaps better) now, it comes across as rather stale.

Like Psycho (which seems to be just one horror movie cliché after another) or Citizen Kane (flashbacks? Soooo original.) ;-)

Silent films are not my strongest point of knowledge, but I enjoy a good one ever now and then!

Fantastic review and cool blog, i’ll definitely be following your journey!
