Per a suggestion from Geoff, at Blog-Sothoth, I netflixed the Godard movie, Weekend.

A venal Parisian couple (Mireille Darc and Jean Yanne) sets off on a sojourn to the country only to find themselves caught in the traffic jam from hell. But things go from bad to worse as they get carjacked by a man professing to be God and are later abducted by a band of anarchists. Director Jean-Luc Godard's scathing critique of the bourgeoisie is a darkly amusing allegorical tale teeming with taboos, including parricide and cannibalism.
I've seen this movie, years ago, but I'm a sucker for anti-consumerism screeds.
