Film: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)
Coffee: Lavazza Super Crema, brewed with a moka pot
Join us in this surreal episode of Reel Beans, where we explore Luis Buñuel’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie — a darkly comedic film about the absurdities of the upper class, paired with Lavazza Super Crema brewed in the iconic moka pot. Discover how Buñuel's masterful use of surrealism and satire mirrors the richness of the coffee, from smooth crema to striking absurdity.
In this episode, I dive into some of the most bizarre, hilarious, and thought-provoking moments of the film, including my favorite scene where Fernando Rey’s character is caught eating a lamb under the table during a violent dinner party. Along the way, we’ll also delve into Buñuel's complex legacy, including his notorious disdain for awards and his ironic win of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Sip along as we unravel the layers of Buñuel’s critique of bourgeois society and the bold flavor of Lavazza Super Crema.
