Featuring an elegant soirée with guests seated at the toilet bowls, poker playing monks using religious medals as chips, and police officers looking for a missing girl who is right under their noses, this perverse, playfully absurd comedy of non sequiturs deftly compiles many of the themes that preoccupied Buñuel throughout his career - from the hypocrisy of conventional morality to the arbitrariness of social arrangements.
