8/10
Not his most visually attractive film, and maybe not even his most incisive, it's still classic Bunuel from top to bottom. Instead of one giant wallop (like in Viridiana) it's more like a death by a thousand cuts - multiple scenes pile up of our bourgeois, dinner party seeking friends experiencing (and brushing off) humiliations and absurdities from the minor to the outrageous...it almost feels like a collection of skits at times. The ending is deliciously insane as is most of the movie; I enjoyed it a good deal.
