N2  - From case cover:
Episodic in structure, the film is a series of anarchic and frequently surreal series of events through which the director ravages a complacent European culture and the various sexual hangups and historical and cultural disconnects of its inhabitants. A man sells postcards of French tourist attractions, calling them "pornographic". A sniper in Montparnasse is hailed as a hero for killing passer-by. A missing child helps the police fill out the report on her. A group of monks play poker, using religious medallions as chips, and in the most infamous sequence, a formally dressed social group gathers at toilets around a table, occasionally excusing themselves to go into little stalls in a private room to eat. Perversely funny and punctuated with a series of quite brilliant sight gaps -- The Phantom of Liberty argues the acceptance of strict moral codes, suggesting that the only way to live freely is to embrace the coincidences of the world.

; From IMDb:
This surrealist film consists of a series of only vaguely related episodes, most famously the dinner party scene in which people sit on lavatories round a dinner table, occasionally retiring to a small room to eat
