La Grande Bouffe (Italian: La grande abbuffata; English: The Grand Bouffe and Blow-Out) is a 1973 satirical film directed by Marco Ferreri. It stars Marcello Mastroianni, Ugo Tognazzi, Michel Piccoli, Philippe Noiret and Andréa Ferréol. The film tells the story of four friends who gather in a villa for the weekend, with the express purpose of eating themselves to death. Bouffer is French slang for "eating" (the Italian abbuffata means "great eating"). It satirises consumerism and the decadence of the bourgeoisie and was therefore controversial upon its release. It has become a cult film.
