Italian provocateur Marco Ferreri’s controversial classic La Grande Bouffe is out now on Blu-ray and DVD from Arrow Video, presented exclusively in a stunning new 2K transfer.
La Grande Bouffe was reviled on release for its perversity, decadence and attack on the bourgeoisie yet won the prestigious FIPRESCI prize after its controversial screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
To celebrate the release, we’ve got Blu-rays to give away to three of our Twitter followers!

Four friends, played by international superstars Marcello Mastroianni (Fellini’s 8½), Michel Piccoli (Belle de jour), Ugo Tognazzi (Barbarella) and Philippe Noiret (Cinema Paradiso) retreat to a country mansion where they determine to eat themselves to death whilst engaging in group sex with prostitutes and a local school teacher (Andréa Ferréol, The Tin Drum), who seems to be up for anything…
At once jovial and sinister, the film’s jet-black humour has a further twist as the reputed actors (whose characters use their own names) buck their respectable trend for a descent into fart-filled chaos that delivers a feast for the eyes and mind.
This competition has now closed. The winners are Nathan Garbutt from Hove, Tricia Potter from Chelmsford and Nicholas Whittaker from Stevenage.
