THURSDAY APRIL 3, 8pm, Baltimore Museum of Art, FREE.[/b]If the BMA Free Film Series were a band, this film would be one of its greatest hits (but hopefully not its "Freebird").A savage, surreal satire from legendary filmmaker Luis Bunuel[/b], also world-renowned for the Salvador Dali[/b] collaboration (and Pixies[/b]-inspiring) short film Un Chien Andalou.In this film, a group of wealthy, mannered upper-class folks repeatedly try to sit down to meals, only to be interrupted by a variety of grotesque deaths, sexcapades, and other mishaps.A must-see... and if you've already seen it, you know it's one to see time and time again.READ MORE:[/b]Roger Ebert on Bunuel and Discreet Charm:http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20000625/REVIEWS08/6250301/1023Discreet Charm 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes:http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/discreet_charm_of_the_bourgeoisie/Discreet Charm on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068361/Luis Bunuel on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000320/Luis Bunuel on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Bu%C3%B1uelNEXT UP:[/b]Thursday, May 1 -- Fassbinder???s Veronica Voss
