LA GRANDE BOUFFE The Big Feast DVD Marco Ferreri Marcelo Mastroianni NEW SEALED

Brand new, sealed, never played Dvd of La Grande Bouffe (The Big Feast) directed by Marco Ferreri. The most famous film by Italian provocateur Marco Ferreri, 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 metro) retreat to a country mansion where they determine to eat themselves to death whilst engaging in group sex with prostitutes 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 humor has a further twist as the reputed actors (whose characters use their own names) buck their respectable trend for a descent into fart-filled chaos that delivers a feast for the eyes and mind. DVD case is shrink-wrapped. Originally released in 1973. Dvd released 2009 by Koch Lorber Films. Color. Feature runs approximately 124 minutes. In French with optional English subtitles. ISBN: 1-4172-0195-9.
