A virtually plotless series of dreams centered around six middle-class people and their consistently interrupted attempts to have a meal together.
Surreal.
"I had forgotten just how spooky the dream scenes are; Buñuel could have been a master of horror, or a great farceur. As it was, he was simply Buñuel, which is cause enough for celebration."
—Anthony Lane, Independent (UK)
