marco ferreri's greatest internationl success, la grande bouffe (the blow-out, the big feast), scandalized audiences when it was released in 1973. audiences were shocked by its tale of four world-weary middleaged men (superbly portayed by marcello mastroianni, ugo tognazzi, michel piccoli and philippe noiret) who decide to gorge themselves to death in one final orgiastic weekend full of gourmet food, call girls and a hefty, lusty schoolteacher. this blackly humorous parable of modern society's collapse from europe's master of bad taste won the cannes film festival's international critics award. nearly 30 years later, it continues to challege audiences' sensibilities and test the limits of shockabilty.

Die eckelerregende und grauenhaft Verwirklichung einer brillianten Idee!
Die Dekadenz dieser Gesellschaft ist erschütternd, und vermag trotzdem an einigen Stellen zu faszinieren.
Primitiver Klassiker

mit grosser Besetzung, aber doch eher unappetitlichen Szenen. Hier und da musste ich allerdings auch lachen. "Ich erhebe das Glas auf unsere kalten Freunde";)
