[THE BIG FEAST]
Italian provocateur Marco Ferreri’s (DILLINGER IS DEAD) ribald masterpiece is a surreal farce, uproariously comedic and surprisingly meditative on the way a man’s appetites — for food, sex, status — are ultimately self-consuming, with life, death and sex making up a never-ending cycle. Four middle-aged friends — international superstars Marcello Mastroianni (LA DOLCE VITA), Michel Piccoli (BELLE DE JOUR), Ugo Tognazzi (LA CAGE AUX FOLLES) and Philippe Noiret (CINEMA PARADISO) — meet at a suburban villa with the express intention to eat themselves to death in an orgy of consumption. Amid nonstop feasting and frolicking with prostitutes, a surprise visit by a schoolteacher (Andréa Ferréol) takes the party to the next level.
