A surrealistic satire that tells the story of six bourgeoisie French citizens trying to share a meal together but end up being constantly stopped by a series of increasingly absurd interruptions. Overall, I didn't like the way the whole thing looked like an episode of Happy Days as far as its lighting and camerawork went, and despite Buñuel presenting some interesting symbolism through his use of characters from all classes of society, and experimenting with the blurring of dreams and reality more thoroughly embodied in films such Last Year at Marienbad, I ultimately didn't feel like the end product came out all that thought-provoking or innovative.
