Cinema’s arch-provocateur, Luis Buñuel, unleashes a wickedly funny satire of upper-crust social rituals. A genteel dinner party in an opulent mansion descends into chaos when guests become convinced they are unable to leave. As all order breaks down, the situation spirals into increasingly absurdist realms, with roaming sheep, a live bear, and a crawling, disembodied hand among the surreal sights.
BAM partners with the New York City Housing Authority to provide participating senior centers and community-based organizations with subsidized bus transportation to and from BAM for Senior Cinema.
