More than four decades after he took a razor blade to an eyeball and shocked the world with Un Chien Andalou, Luis Buñuel capped his career with three final provocations in which his renegade, free-associating surrealism reached its endgame. -- adapted from back of container.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie: An upper-middle class sextet sits down to a dinner that is continually delayed, their attempts to eat thwarted by vaudevillian events both actual and imagined, including terrorist attacks, military maneuvers, and ghostly apparitions.
Description
The Phantom of Liberty: Zigzagging across time and space, from the Napoleonic era to the present day, The Phantom of Liberty unfolds as a picaresque, its characters traveling between tableaux in a series of Dadaist non sequiturs.

That Obscure Object of Desire: Mathieu, an urbane widower, is tortured by his lust for the elusive Conchita.
