Consumerism at its satirical yummiest. A bunch of rich people decide to eat and fuck themselves to death. Food and Sex: the movie, where people get stuffed in more ways than one. Gives new meaning to the term ‘food porn’

The Arrow blu cover where the girls hair looks like spaghetti is pretty great, Actually all the posters for this are great.

Ferreri's take on the by-then imminent decay of society thanks to consumerist capitalism. It was very smart to place food as the element that represents any kind of good in an excessive abundance. Also, the main roles are juxtapositions of representations of various social classes, showing that we are in the same possibility of having the same useless and depraved inclinations. The core, as Biblically cited, is vanity, but even water in excess provokes death. The shit, the farts, the vomit and the whores are naturally the result of vanity; that's what life becomes after a while.

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Even wanting to be Marlon Brando is vanity.

98/100

Food and Sex: the movie, where people get stuffed in more ways than one.

It's like if Pasolini's Salo had a baby with a great episode of Bourdain...and then that baby ate itself.

I was unprepared for the amount of flatulence. A man literally farts himself to death, and I am left without words to properly describe this.

Warning :- People who are narrow minded/conservative/old school should avoid this movie/Review.

Cool I never want to watch this fucking movie again :•)

gross

The thing about food-movies is that I'm always interested in viewing a film, while also cooking or preparing the food presented in it. The meals in 'La grande bouffe' however don't necessarily make for beautiful culinary pieces of art. As a film 'La grande bouffe' is daring, vulgar and sometimes even disgraceful, but that's also what makes it such an interesting study on the bourgeoise and consumerism. It's a film where you mix 'Saló' or 'Der Siebente Kontinent' with a high-class cooking lesson from Marco Pierre White or Anthony Bourdain. The beautiful serene surroundings are the icing on a controversial cake.

I'm glad I watched this. Truly a timeless piece of art. The themes presented in this film are even more prevalent to this day.

Probably the greatest food movie ever

Food and Sex: the two insatiable appetites. Buñuel-like, horny, disgusting, and so funny. Mastroianni and Piccoli are wonderful.

In the middle of all the eating and fucking and farting, some bittersweet moments between 4 great friends that want to die, helped by Andrea, their sweet angel of death.

fiaf ny.

fellas, is it bourgeois to invite your best bros to your dad’s country house so you can gorge yourself to death on an insanely rich 12 course meal that culminates in a titcake while you all try and hook up with your saddest friend’s wife that he just met whilst you all threw food at a sex worker? guys being dudes cinéma at its peak
