Product Description

The most famous film by Italian provocateur Marco Ferreri (Dillinger is Dead), La Grande bouffe was reviled on release for its perversity, decadence and attack on the bourgeoisie yet won the prestigious FIPRESCI prize after its controversial screening at the Cannes Film Festival.

Four friends, played by international superstars Marcello Mastroianni (Fellini s 8½), Michel Piccoli (Belle de jour), Ugo Tognazzi (Barbarella) and Philippe Noiret (Zazie dans le métro) retreat to a country mansion where they determine to eat themselves to death whilst engaging in sex with ladies of the night and a local school teacher (Andréa Ferréol, The Tin Drum), who seems to be up for anything...

At once jovial and sinister, the film s jet-black humour has a further twist as the reputed actors (whose characters use their own names) buck their respectable trend for a descent into chaos that delivers a feast for the eyes and mind.

5.0 out of 5 starsSelf Harm
By Dr. Delvis Memphistopheles TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 31 Mar. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Follows Taxidermia and Salo amongst others into the intimate indulgences but in one aspect it is about self-harm around cultivating a food disorder. Does not go for the ones that have big exposure such as Bulimia and Anorexia but over-eating - Mr. Creosote in "The Meaning of Life." 4 middle aged middle class men lock themselves up and try to find a meaning to their lives whilst gorging themselves into oblivion. The film focuses upon the issue of over consumption and the endless boredom which blooms within rich people's lives as they lack any meaning to their existence.

The Italian Marcello bases himself on his ability to spill his seed, he is the air-plane pilot but when this dries up he finds himself at an existential crisis - what does he do? He is no longer the Italian lover.

Philip the Magistrate has been sexualised and dominated by his childhood Nanny, who has pedophiled herself with her body so that she has pampered then smothered him to such an extent she dominates his adult desires. We view her face as she pleasures her "little boy," a middle aged man who still lives with his surrogate mother.

The other characters Ugo and Michel are equally estranged from their partners, children and there are hints of early childhood issues throughout. Each finds a sense of meaningless, an existential void and wants to discover their lives by eating food in sumptuous dishes, which are pure heart attack or diabetes laden material as their bodies begin to respond through constipation, flatulence, hardening of the arteries and generally just packing up.

It is an excruciating film, as the viewer is left watching people destroy themselves through an over consumption, but it is also captivating.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDeath by kidneys, in an exquisite sauce, helped along by guinea fowl and warm, practiced flesh
By C. O. DeRiemer HALL OF FAME on 21 April 2009
Format: DVD
"A wild boar, ready for the most subtle marinades...two superb deers with soft eyes, flesh imbued with the perfumes of the Clouves forest...ten dozen semi-wild guinea fowls fed on grain and juniper...three dozen innocent Ardennes cockerels...one dozen chickens from and around Bresse...a hindquarter of beef from the rich pastures of Charolais...five dozen innocent salt-meadow lambs from Mont Saint-Michel..." Since this is a family site I won't describe the delights of the prostitutes they've also ordered. You'll see those soon enough.

When these four sophisticated men, ennui leaking from their souls like the fluid draining from those two superb deers, speak of kissing the oyster, it's not the oysters they have in mind. In fact, what they seem to welcome is death by satiation. If food and sex are humankind's two glorious distractions from boredom, these four men discover a way to check out with a belch and a groan. It will be glorious, endless dinner at the unused Paris manse of one of them. The Whore Menu will be a masterpiece..."a sauté of fat and lean given by four gourmet epicureans for three young ladies in twelve courses. Crayfish a la Mozart on a bed of rice with sublime Aurore Sauce...soft-shell lobster served as a first course..." The dinner will be memorable...four jaded men, three whores and Andrea (Andrea Ferreol), a schoolteacher. And we're only 44 minutes into this more than two-hour movie. One thing for sure, There'll have to be breakfast

What on earth are we to make of the tired lives, mounds of kidneys bordelaise and pointless exits of Marcello the pilot (Marcello Mastroianni), Michel the television big shot (Michel Piccoli), Philippe the judge (Philippe Noiret) and Ugo the chef (Ugo Tognazzi)? Much can be read into this movie, and much has.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsYou may never want a second helping again
By C. Nation on 22 April 2006
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is an amazing, unforgettable film - well, it's 30+ years since I first saw it. At the end, when me and my girlfriend left the old original Electric Cinema Club on Portobello Rd, the audience split between those who dived straight into the chippy two doors down or crossed the street holding their noses.

One weekend, four successful but terminally bored men meet at the large house of one of them, a truck arrives loaded with a fantastic range of food, from whole deer carcasses to foie gras and they set out to eat themselves to death. Michel Picolli's character is a master chef and gets stuck in to cooking one gargantuan, sumptious meal after another. At one point, against the rules, Marcello Mastroiani's character calls in a couple of hookers to add a bit of female interest. He finds a novel use for a spare piston of the old Bugatti he finds in a shed... The girls soon leave, declaring the guys to be disgusting, depraved. The eating goes on. AND ON AND ON. A large and plumptious school teacher, who has been showing her children the tree in the garden under which some famous writer had his thoughts, is invited back for dinner. She gingers up the flagging fellows by declaring loudly, "J'ai faim!" And on they go, eating.

It's beautifully shot, in rich, dark colours, there are brilliant jokes and in the end ... the teacher wants seconds.

Superb film and really swift delivery. For anyone who has not seen the film - definitely an acquired taste - it's incredibly interesting and will certainly make you think twice about what and how much you eat in future.
