The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)
Movie
Released
Here the dinner keeps collapsing before anyone can properly enjoy it. Interruptions and shifting realities turn an upper-class group's pursuit of a meal into an exposure of habits they take for granted. It is the loose, dreamlike outlier, useful after the single-room thrillers if you want the ritual itself to become the joke.

About The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
An upper-class sextet sits down to dinner but never eats, their attempts continually thwarted by a vaudevillian mixture of events both actual and imagined.
