I like this movie for its outrageousness and its ability to combine an allegoric vision and a creeping reality: what are we doing with our lives? Where will this boredom of new living lead us to? The notion of four friends inspiring in an all-out “Grande Abbufatta” (the new title in Italian) is quite a perceptive allegory of what happened to the so-called Western civilization as a whole. It seems it has nowhere to go but to a formidable blow-out since its very beginning…
I’m not a enormous fan of Marco Ferreri’s work. I contemplate he was quite strange in his output, but when he hit the note he was simply second to none. For me, this “La Grande Bouffe” and “L’Ape Regina” (”The Queen Bee” or “The Conjugal Bed”, 1963, with Ugo Tognazzi and Marina Vlady) are among the best examples of dim comedy ever to be given us by filmmakers anywhere in the world. His choice of actors couldn’t be better: Mastroianni, Piccoli, Noiret and Tognazzi will be forever among the greatest in this trade, and in “La Grande Bouffe” all of them give us one of the finest of their efforts ever.
I was very pleased when I knew this movie was being released on DVD because I had seen it twice in movie theaters: in 1978 (the Italian-spoken version) and in 1981 (the French-spoken version, the one on this DVD) . I was hoping the DVD version would bring both. I was quite disappointed to notice that it brings only the French-spoken version, with English subtitles. It would have added considerable more to my pleasure if this DVD version of “La Grande Bouffe” would near with both Italian- and French-spoken versions, and also with Italian and French – besides English – subtitles.

If I’m not incorrect, it’s possible to do this with any DVD (if not, please moral me), for I have many DVDs at home with a choice of several languages on the audio tracks and an equally wide variety of subtitles’ choice. Also, the music that Philippe Sarde wrote for this movie has jumpy me since the very first time I saw “La Grande Bouffe”. I have been hunting for this movie’s music all over the world to no avail for decades now (can anyone out there support me on that? Was this music ever issued on tapes, LPs or CDs anywhere? ) . I was hoping that on DVD they would provide us also with a choice of hearing this sensuous and animated music without the dialogues, but this too was denied to us viewers.
For these two reasons only (lack of a wider choice of languages and subtitles, and lack of a separate track for the music) I don’t give this DVD a 5-star rating.
Some movies sear an image into your brain for ever. Like the ruin of “The Wild Bunch” or the beginning of Leone’s “Once Upon A Time In The West” – “Looks like we’re troubled one horse”. “No, you brought two too many”.
I saw “La Sizable Bouffe” over 20 years ago. I tranquil have the image in my mind of the guy eating the two blancmanges at the ruin of the recount before he dies.

This movie is surreal, bizarre and astounding. If we go to movies to glimpse images and things we have never seen before, then this movie is spectacularly successful.
There is no greater movie about food and death.
