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 Iaced his scathing attacks on religion, class pretension, and moral 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 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 all three films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks • The Castaway of Providence Street, a 1971 homage to Luis Buñuel made by his Iongtime friends and felIow filmmakers Arturo Ripstein and Rafael 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-CIaude Carrière on The Phantom of Liberty and That Obscure Object of Desire • Archival interviews on all three fiIms 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 Buñuel on five of his finaI seven films • Analysis of The Phantom of Liberty from 2017 by film scholar Peter WilIiam Evans • Lady Doubles, a 2017 documentary featuring actors Carole Bouquet and Ángela MoIina, who share the role of Conchita in That Obscure Object of Desire • Portrait of an Impatient Filmmaker, 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 le pantin, an adaptation of Pierre Louÿs’s 1898 novel of the same name, on which That Obscure Object of Desire is also 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 la Colina and Tomás Pérez Turrent THE DlSCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOlSIE ln Luis Buñuel’s deIiciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-cIass 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, 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 CasseI—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 LIBERTY Luis Buñuel’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 unfolds 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 fuII circle the director’s lifeIong preoccupation with the darker side of desire. BuñueI reguIar Fernando Rey plays Mathieu, an urbane widower, tortured by his lust for the elusive Conchita. With subversive fIair, BuñueI 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. |
