 Rating:  - Food and FlashSurprisingly, this middle aged boys' weekend-out is much more sexy than many pure-porno movies, but a bit boring for stupidity of a realm screened. Rating:  - Sex and gluttony! A small group composed by well definite personages, (linked by their Epicurean approach) each one of them representing a symbol of power and notorious status in the society - a judge, a chef, a pilot, a TV producer and a female school teacher join for a gastronomic weekend in a Parisian home. This great plentiful repast will be complemented by an unexpected guest: The Death' s Angel. What it going to come will be certainly one of the most impressive portraits of degradation and ...

This movie is surreal, bizarre and wonderful. If we go to movies to see images and things we have never seen before, ... Read More Rating: - One of the most provocative movies of all timesI like this movie for its outrageousness and its ability to combine an allegoric vision and a creeping reality: what are we doing with our lives? Where will this boredom of modern living lead us to? The idea of four friends engaging in an all-out "Grande Abbufatta" (the original title in Italian) is quite a perceptive allegory of what happened to the so-called Western civilization as a whole. It seems it has nowhere to go but to a formidable blow-out since its very beginning... I'm not a big ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
