This is a classic by Luis Bunuel, the Spanish film maker who collaborated with surrealist Salvador Dali on the short film "The Andalusian Dog," which is taught in all cinema courses. Bunuel made a series of films in which comfortable bourgeois characters find their pleasant meals interrupted by unexpected events. This one is no exception. It showcases Fernando Rey as the Ambassador to France of a corrupt, politically unstable Latin American country called Miranda. He is constantly fending off provocative questions about the squalor of his homeland as he graces tables of plenty in Paris. Well done!
