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 unique living lead us to? The belief of four friends tantalizing in an all-out “Grande Abbufatta” (the modern 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 colossal fan of Marco Ferreri’s work. I mediate he was quite unfamiliar in his output, but when he hit the price 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 dismal 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 jubilant 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 scrutinize that it brings only the French-spoken version, with English subtitles. It would have added worthy more to my pleasure if this DVD version of “La Grande Bouffe” would advance with both Italian- and French-spoken versions, and also with Italian and French - besides English - subtitles.

If I’m not improper, it’s possible to do this with any DVD (if not, please factual 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 petrified 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 aid 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 gripping 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 raze of “The Wild Bunch” or the beginning of Leone’s “Once Upon A Time In The West” - “Looks like we’re paralyzed one horse”. “No, you brought two too many”.
I saw “La Great Bouffe” over 20 years ago. I mild have the image in my mind of the guy eating the two blancmanges at the waste of the portray before he dies.

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