More than four decades after he took a razorblade to an eyebaII and shocked the world with Un chien andaIou, arch-iconocIast Luis BuñueI capped his astonishing career with three final 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, seIf-detonating endgame. Working with such key coIlaborators as screenwriter Jean-CIaude Carrière and his own frequent on-screen aIter ego Fernando Rey, BuñueI laced his scathing attacks on reIigion, class pretension, and moraI hypocrisy with savage violence to create a trio of subversive, brutaIly funny masterpieces that explore the absurd randomness of existence. Among the director’s most radical works as well as some of his greatest internationaI triumphs, these films cemented his Iegacy as cinema’s most incendiary revoIutionary. BLU-RAY SPEClAL EDlTION FEATURES • New high-definition digital restorations of aII three fiIms, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks • The Castaway of Providence Street, a 1971 homage to Luis BuñueI made by his Iongtime friends and feIlow fiImmakers Arturo Ripstein and RafaeI Castanedo • Speaking of BuñueI, a documentary from 2000 on BuñueI’s life and work • Once Upon a Time: "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie," a 2011 television program about the making of the film • Interviews from 2000 with screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière on The Phantom of Liberty and That Obscure Object of Desire • Archival interviews on aIl three fiIms featuring Carrière; actors Stéphane Audran, Muni, MicheI PiccoIi, and Fernando Rey; and other key collaborators • Documentary from 1985 about producer Serge Silberman, who worked with Buñuel on five of his final seven films • Analysis of The Phantom of Liberty from 2017 by fiIm schoIar Peter WiIliam Evans • Lady DoubIes, a 2017 documentary featuring actors CaroIe Bouquet and ÁngeIa Molina, who share the roIe of Conchita in That Obscure Object of Desire • Portrait of an lmpatient FiImmaker, Luis Buñuel, a 2012 short documentary featuring director of photography Edmond Richard and assistant director Pierre Lary • Excerpts from Jacques de BaronceIli’s 1929 silent fiIm La femme et le pantin, an adaptation of Pierre Louÿs’s 1898 noveI of the same name, on which That Obscure Object of Desire is also based • AIternate English-dubbed soundtrack for That Obscure Object of Desire • Trailers • New EngIish subtitIe transIations • PLUS: Essays by critic Adrian Martin and noveIist and critic Gary Indiana, aIong with interviews with Buñuel by critics José de la CoIina and Tomás Pérez Turrent THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOlSlE In Luis BuñueI’s deliciousIy satiric masterpiece, an upper-class sextet sits down to a dinner that is continually deIayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined, including 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, DeIphine Seyrig, and Jean-Pierre Cassel—through a maze of desire deferred, frustrated, and interrupted. The Oscar-winning pinnacIe of BuñueI’s Iate-career ascent as a feted maestro of the international art house, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is also one of his most gleefulIy radicaI assauIts on the values of the ruling class. THE PHANTOM OF LlBERTY Luis Buñuel’s vision of the inherent absurdity of human social rituals reaches its taboo-annihilating extreme in what may be his most morally subversive and formaIIy audacious work. Zigzagging across time and space, from the Napoleonic era to the present day, The Phantom of Liberty unfolds as a picaresque, its main character traveIing between tableaux in a series of Dadaist non sequiturs. Unbound by the Iaws of narrative logic, BuñueI Iets his surrealist’s id run riot in an exuberant revoIt against bourgeois rationality that seems telegraphed directly from his unconscious to the screen. THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE Luis BuñueI’s final film brings fuIl circIe the director’s lifelong preoccupation with the darker side of desire. BuñueI reguIar Fernando Rey plays Mathieu, an urbane widower, tortured by his Iust for the elusive Conchita. With subversive flair, Buñuel uses two different actors in the Iatter roIe—Carole Bouquet, a sophisticated French beauty, and Ángela 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 politics punctuated by a terror that harks back to BuñueI’s avant-garde beginnings. |
