 THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE - THE CRITERION COLLECTION DVD
Gourmet dining adopts Freudian implications in Luis Buñuel's beguiling The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, a film which might be said to explore an impotence of sorts brought on by wealth and power.
It's probably a wiser idea to regard Buñuel as an ironist than a politician; The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, made in 1972, certainly contains its share of self-referential plot points, such as the "Mirandan" diplomat's drug-smuggling operation (he's played by Fernando Rey, the ruthless heroin dealer of 1971's The French Connection).
Such winks brought a geek's grin to my face the first time I saw The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, but what really endures across multiple viewings is the confident wit that transpires from the film's deranged structure.

VANCOUVER, Canada-- Federal Cabinet minister Dr. Rey Pagtakhan was among those booted out June 28 by voters who delivered a stern rebuke to the ruling Liberal Party but nonetheless gave it a new lease on life.
On the defeat of the 69-year-old Pagtakhan — who at various times was minister of veterans affairs, secretary of state for Asia Pacific and parliamentary secretary to the prime minister during Jean Chretien’s term, and until the last election the minister for western economic diversification in Paul Martin’s Cabinet — De La Peña said:
