The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie
Malle really outdoes Bunuel in this movie-- I really enjoyed this one, where I thought Bunuel fell far short of the mark. A nice collection of characters here. The only one besides the old guy digging mom's grave who is actually working class is the lorry driver, who seems to have a somewhat conservative outlook (rather like much of the working class in the US these days). A lot of chuckles and insights here, and it applies well to current day-- think of a current-day spoiled rich family hearing about the occupy movement on the radio, getting paranoid and melting down out of their guilt, fears and greed.I watched this one from the Louis Malle vol 2 collection, Optimum World region 2 release-- all the other films in the set were good too, I highly recommend it.
