Bourgeois convention is demolished in Luis Buņuel's surrealist gem The Phantom of Liberty. Featuring an elegant soiree with guests seated at 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 Buņuel throughout his career-from the hypocrisy of conventional morality to the arbitrariness of social arrangements.
