I watched this for the first time last night and oh wow, what a fun and beautiful film.
Luis Buñuel directs a truly all star cast; Delphine Seyrig, Paul Frankeur, Stéphane Audran, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Bulle Ogier, Julien Bertheau, Michel Piccoli, and Fernando Rey
The film makes absolute no sense.

A French movie? You're going to wake up the Alain Delon troll.

It is an absurdist take on a certain set. Think Sondheim’s “Company” or Wolfe’s “Radical Chic”.

It's more like Three's Company.

An absolute favorite film for which i have great affection. I've seen it at least once a year for almost 50 years. Barely a day goes by that the film doesn't come to mind.
At 17 and a couple months into college, a small group of friends and I went to see this as the first in a retrospective of Buñuel in a nearby city. The film was then 5 years old but new to me and a great delight and ultimately a great influence.
I owe some not small gratitude to Buñuel for not expecting things to go to plan; in welcoming oddity and interruption and the absurd; in the value of listening to stories; in that death is never far off nor any moment unimportant. And for the images of smartly dressed French people marking briskly along a country road, of Fernando Rey's strange presence, of ghosts among the living; of manners and building facades and the things they hide...
Buñuel's films are favorites, and this one above all for me.

Making no sense was a thing for a while especially in Europe. Dada in art, Bunuel and Godard in film, Beckett in literature etc.

I'm fairly obsessed with Delphine Seyrig since seeing "Daughters of Darkness."

A movie that has stuck with me and a great movie to show someone new to the concept of surrealism.

Bulle Ogier was Florence, the fun loving/drunk one!
