SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Buñuel again turns polite bourgeois ritual into a dryly comic nightmare, using repeated interruptions and dreamlike logic to expose the fragility beneath social manners.
02
Why this pick
Its elegant, deadpan reversals of social convention share the same satirical bite and calmly irrational atmosphere, though it is more episodic than The Exterminating Angel.
03
Why this pick
A rigorously mannered social world turns arbitrary rules into bleak comedy, matching Buñuel’s fascination with etiquette, confinement, and people adapting disturbingly quickly to the absurd.
04
Why this pick
This chilly domestic fable uses controlled performances and warped rituals to make ordinary behavior feel alien, creating an unnerving absurdity akin to Buñuel’s enclosed social experiment.
05
Why this pick
A macabre, formally precise satire in which cultivated respectability curdles into delusion. Its dark humor and increasingly claustrophobic moral atmosphere make it a potent companion.

01 / THE STORY
During a formal dinner party at the lavish mansion of Señor Edmundo Nóbile and his wife Lucía, the servants unaccountably leave their posts until only the major-domo is left. After dinner the guests adjourn to the music room, where one of the women, Blanca, plays a piano sonata. Later, when they might normally be expected to return home, the guests curiously remove their jackets, loosen their gowns, and settle down for the night on couches, chairs and the floor.
