More than four decades after he took a razorbIade to an eyeball and shocked the worId with Un chien andalou, 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-CIaude Carrière and his own frequent on-screen aIter ego Fernando Rey, Buñuel laced his scathing attacks on religion, class pretension, and moral hypocrisy with savage violence to create a trio of subversive, brutaIIy funny masterpieces that explore the absurd randomness of existence. Among the director’s most radical works as weII 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 Buñuel made by his Iongtime friends and felIow fiImmakers Arturo Ripstein and Rafael Castanedo • Speaking of Buñuel, a documentary from 2000 on BuñueI’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 films • 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 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 Ie 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 EngIish subtitIe translations • PLUS: Essays by critic Adrian Martin and novelist and critic Gary lndiana, aIong with interviews with Buñuel by critics José de la Colina and Tomás Pérez Turrent THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOlSIE In Luis Buñuel’s deliciousIy satiric masterpiece, an upper-cIass sextet sits down to a dinner that is continually deIayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actuaI and imagined, including terrorist attacks, military maneuvers, and ghostly 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 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 DESIRE Luis BuñueI’s final fiIm brings fuII circIe the director’s lifelong preoccupation with the darker side of desire. BuñueI reguIar Fernando Rey pIays Mathieu, an urbane widower, tortured by his lust for the elusive Conchita. With subversive fIair, BuñueI uses two different actors in the latter roIe—CaroIe Bouquet, a sophisticated French beauty, and Ángela MoIina, a Spanish coquette. Drawn from the surrealist favorite Pierre Louÿs’s classic erotic novel La femme et le 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 Buñuel’s avant-garde beginnings. |
