1962, NR, 1h 35m

A supernatural surrealist film that follows a group of wealthy guests who find themselves unable to leave after a lavish dinner party and the chaos that ensues afterward. Sharply satirical and allegorical, the film is a commentary that suggests the aristocracy harbor savage instincts and unspeakable secrets.
