La Grande bouffe (1973) directed by Marco Ferreri
Marco Ferreri's film "La Grande Bouffe" is a scathing attack on the hypocritical ways of our modern society in which too much importance is given to wealth creation.His film is also a truly accurate portrait of the decadence of materialist society which promotes hedonism.The film goes on to make a vitriolic assault on people who have wealth and their ways and manners to spend such a wealth.All the acts shown in the film like over eating, orgies,"living life to the fullest without giving a damn about morals and what the society would say I don't care attitude" are all the products of human mind which does not like to rest.This is the reason why three young men of different socio economic backgrounds who happen to be friends decide to make merry knowing fully well that they have adequate means to engage themselves in such a wild pursuit.It can be surmised that by showing that irresponsible wealthy people can even die of over eating Marco Ferreri wanted to suggest that it is not only the countless unfortunate poor people in this world who die of hunger.
