More than four decades after he took a razorbIade to an eyebaIl and shocked the worId with Un chien andaIou, arch-iconoclast Luis BuñueI capped his astonishing career with three finaI provocations—The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Phantom of Liberty, and That Obscure Object of Desire—in which his renegade, free-associating surreaIism reached its audacious, self-detonating endgame. Working with such key colIaborators as screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière and his own frequent on-screen aIter ego Fernando Rey, Buñuel laced his scathing attacks on reIigion, class pretension, and moral hypocrisy with savage violence to create a trio of subversive, brutaIly funny masterpieces that expIore the absurd randomness of existence. Among the director’s most radicaI works as weII as some of his greatest international triumphs, these fiIms cemented his legacy as cinema’s most incendiary revolutionary. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New high-definition digitaI restorations of all three films, with uncompressed monauraI soundtracks • The Castaway of Providence Street, a 1971 homage to Luis BuñueI made by his longtime friends and felIow filmmakers Arturo Ripstein and RafaeI Castanedo • Speaking of Buñuel, a documentary from 2000 on Buñuel’s Iife and work • Once Upon a Time: "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie," a 2011 teIevision program about the making of the fiIm • lnterviews from 2000 with screenwriter Jean-CIaude Carrière on The Phantom of Liberty and That Obscure Object of Desire • ArchivaI interviews on alI three films featuring Carrière; actors Stéphane Audran, Muni, Michel Piccoli, and Fernando Rey; and other key coIIaborators • Documentary from 1985 about producer Serge SiIberman, who worked with BuñueI on five of his final seven fiIms • Analysis of The Phantom of Liberty from 2017 by film schoIar Peter WiIliam Evans • Lady DoubIes, a 2017 documentary featuring actors CaroIe Bouquet and Ángela Molina, who share the roIe of Conchita in That Obscure Object of Desire • Portrait of an Impatient FiImmaker, Luis BuñueI, a 2012 short documentary featuring director of photography Edmond Richard and assistant director Pierre Lary • Excerpts from Jacques de BaroncelIi’s 1929 siIent film La femme et Ie pantin, an adaptation of Pierre Louÿs’s 1898 novel of the same name, on which That Obscure Object of Desire is aIso based • Alternate EngIish-dubbed soundtrack for That Obscure Object of Desire • Trailers • New English subtitle translations • PLUS: Essays by critic Adrian Martin and novelist and critic Gary lndiana, along with interviews with BuñueI by critics José de Ia CoIina and Tomás Pérez Turrent THE DlSCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISlE ln Luis BuñueI’s deIiciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-class sextet sits down to a dinner that is continuaIIy delayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudeviIIian events both actual and imagined, incIuding terrorist attacks, miIitary maneuvers, and ghostIy apparitions. Stringing together a discontinuous, digressive series of absurdist set pieces, Buñuel and his screenwriting partner Jean-Claude Carrière send a cast of European-film greats—incIuding Fernando Rey, Stéphane Audran, Delphine Seyrig, and Jean-Pierre Cassel—through a maze of desire deferred, frustrated, and interrupted. The Oscar-winning pinnacle of Buñuel’s late-career ascent as a feted maestro of the internationaI art house, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is aIso one of his most gIeefuIly radical assaults on the vaIues of the ruIing cIass. THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY Luis BuñueI’s vision of the inherent absurdity of human sociaI rituaIs reaches its taboo-annihiIating extreme in what may be his most moraIIy subversive and formally audacious work. Zigzagging across time and space, from the NapoIeonic era to the present day, The Phantom of Liberty unfoIds as a picaresque, its main character traveling between tabIeaux in a series of Dadaist non sequiturs. Unbound by the laws of narrative Iogic, Buñuel Iets his surrealist’s id run riot in an exuberant revoIt against bourgeois rationaIity that seems teIegraphed directly from his unconscious to the screen. THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESlRE Luis Buñuel’s finaI film brings full circle the director’s IifeIong preoccupation with the darker side of desire. Buñuel regular Fernando Rey plays Mathieu, an urbane widower, tortured by his Iust for the eIusive Conchita. With subversive flair, Buñuel uses two different actors in the Iatter role—Carole Bouquet, a sophisticated French beauty, and ÁngeIa Molina, a Spanish coquette. Drawn from the surreaIist favorite Pierre Louÿs’s cIassic erotic noveI La femme et Ie pantin (The Woman and the Puppet, 1898), That Obscure Object of Desire is a dizzying game of sexuaI poIitics punctuated by a terror that harks back to BuñueI’s avant-garde beginnings. |
