Comedy | Drama | Italy/France | French/Italian w/Eng subs | 130min Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Michel Piccoli, Philippe Noiret, Ugo Tognazzi A group of men go to a villa in the French countryside where they resolve to eat themselves to death. Four middle-aged friends and members of the professional bourgeoisie, Ugo, a chef and restaurant owner, Marcello, an incorrigible womanizer and Alitalia pilot, Michel, a delicate television producer, and Philippe, a venerable magistrate, gather for a debaucherous weekend at the latter's Parisian villa. There, as the four men prepare for a Romanesque feast, truckloads of fine food and wine arrive, accompanied by three elegant prostitutes. Without a doubt, the rapacious and degraded hedonists are determined to eat themselves to death, one elaborate morsel after another, nevertheless, for what reason?
