Le Fantôme de la liberté
1974
Synopsis
Police officers search for a missing girl who is hiding in plain sight. An elegant soirée unfolds, where guests are seated on toilet bowls. Poker-playing monks use religious medals as betting chips. In these absurd and illogical events, bourgeois conventions are dismantled, and reality unravels.
Editorial
Following his Oscar® win for The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Buñuel landed his biggest production—which birthed one of his most incendiary films of subversive hilarity. A seemingly endless cast of international stars rounds out this cinematic reckoning with the absurdity of modern existence.
