Synopsis:
In typical Luis Buñuel fashion, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie surrealistically skewers the conventions of society. Buñuel applies his surrealist touch to a mundane event: a dinner party that may never come to pass. A group of well-to-do friends attempt to gather for a social evening, but are thwarted at every turn. The initial problem seems to be a simple scheduling mistake, but the obstacles become more and more bizarre. At one point, the guests are interrupted at the table by an army on maneuvers. Later they learn that they are merely characters in a stage play and so cannot have dinner together. These misadventures are combined with symbolic dreams of the various characters, some of which also involve interrupted dinners. Wicked social satire and one of Buñuel's funniest films.

客人們來到塞內夏爾家參加晚宴，卻發現晚宴要在明晚才舉行。他們只好去一家小酒館，但計劃再次受挫，因為小酒館員工正在為他們剛去世的店主守靈。接下來的一次晚宴也被迫中斷，更莫名其妙發現身邊的帷幕突然拉起，他們成了坐在舞台上用餐的表演者。還有一次，陸軍上校當著唐拉斐爾大使的面侮辱米蘭達共和國，險些釀成外交災禍，聚餐又告吹了。影片中的六個人物（包括塞內夏爾夫婦、唐拉斐爾大使）不斷地坐下來用餐，卻總是出現意想不到的障礙。
