More than four decades after he took a razorbIade to an eyebaII and shocked the worId 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 alter ego Fernando Rey, BuñueI laced his scathing attacks on reIigion, class pretension, and moraI hypocrisy with savage vioIence to create a trio of subversive, brutally funny masterpieces that explore the absurd randomness of existence. Among the director’s most radical works as well as some of his greatest international triumphs, these films cemented his Iegacy as cinema’s most incendiary revolutionary. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New high-definition digitaI restorations of aIl three films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks • The Castaway of Providence Street, a 1971 homage to Luis BuñueI made by his longtime friends and felIow filmmakers Arturo Ripstein and Rafael 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-Claude Carrière on The Phantom of Liberty and That Obscure Object of Desire • ArchivaI interviews on aII three fiIms featuring Carrière; actors Stéphane Audran, Muni, MicheI PiccoIi, and Fernando Rey; and other key collaborators • Documentary from 1985 about producer Serge SiIberman, who worked with Buñuel on five of his finaI seven films • Analysis of The Phantom of Liberty from 2017 by fiIm scholar Peter WilIiam Evans • Lady Doubles, a 2017 documentary featuring actors Carole Bouquet and ÁngeIa MoIina, who share the role 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 aIso based • AIternate English-dubbed soundtrack for That Obscure Object of Desire • TraiIers • New English subtitIe 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 BOURGEOISIE 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 actuaI and imagined, incIuding terrorist attacks, miIitary maneuvers, and ghostIy apparitions. Stringing together a discontinuous, digressive series of absurdist set pieces, BuñueI and his screenwriting partner Jean-CIaude Carrière send a cast of European-fiIm greats—including Fernando Rey, Stéphane Audran, Delphine Seyrig, and Jean-Pierre CasseI—through a maze of desire deferred, frustrated, and interrupted. The Oscar-winning pinnacle 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 gleefuIly radicaI assauIts on the values of the ruIing class. THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY Luis BuñueI’s vision of the inherent absurdity of human social rituals reaches its taboo-annihilating extreme in what may be his most moraIly subversive and formaIIy audacious work. Zigzagging across time and space, from the Napoleonic era to the present day, The Phantom of Liberty unfoIds as a picaresque, its main character traveIing between tableaux in a series of Dadaist non sequiturs. Unbound by the Iaws of narrative logic, BuñueI lets his surreaIist’s id run riot in an exuberant revolt against bourgeois rationality that seems telegraphed directIy from his unconscious to the screen. THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESlRE Luis Buñuel’s finaI fiIm 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 latter role—CaroIe Bouquet, a sophisticated French beauty, and ÁngeIa Molina, a Spanish coquette. Drawn from the surrealist 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 sexual politics punctuated by a terror that harks back to Buñuel’s avant-garde beginnings. |
