Buñuel's late-career evisceration of the French bourgeoisie began with this sordid tale set at a French manor, its vainglorious denizens detached from the political unrest of the late 1920s. Enter Jeanne Moreau's Célestine, who uses her role as object of the men's obsession (who can blame them with those stockings she wears?) to satisfy her own mysterious designs.
