Four friends, fed up with their bourgeois lives, decide to lock themselves up in a villa and gorge themselves to death on food. A scandalous film par excellence, The Big Feast holds up a grotesque mirror to the France of the “Thirty Glorious Years”. Opulence, hedonism and social success are ridiculed by a Marco Ferreri in a state of grace, outright vulgar and rightly horrifying. It also shakes up audiences to see four of the world’s greatest actors of their times play such degenerates.
