Short description

In Luis Buñuel’s deliciously satiric masterpiece, an upper-class sextet sits down to dinner but never eats, their attempts continually thwarted by a vaudevillian mixture of events both actual and imagined.

What's left behind the scenes

Luis Buñuel is credited with creating the sound effects, despite being almost completely deaf at the time.
When Don Rafael Acosta tells Florence about his birthday, he states Luis Buñuel's birthdate – February 22nd.
One of Luis Buñuel's signature "tricks" is insects. In this film, during a torture scene in prison, cockroaches appear from a piano.
