Movie Reviews of The Exterminating Angel - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: Not Your Standard Fare
Summary: 4 Stars
What an odd little film! I'd have to say it's like the best episode of the old "Twilight Zone" that you've ever seen... that just happens to be in Spanish. It's a mysterious story that is open to many interpretations, but it feels to me like a statement on chauvinistic societal attitudes, bowing to peer pressure and following the crowd blindly. Don't expect a screwball satire, as this films simmers more than pops.
Summary of The Exterminating Angel - Criterion Collection
A group of bourgeois cosmopolitans are invited to a mansion for dinner and inexplicably find themselves unable to leave, in Luis Bu?uel's daring masterpiece The Exterminating Angel. Made just one year after his international sensation Viridiana, this is a furthering of Bu?uel's wicked takedown of the rituals and dependencies of the frivolous upper classes, full of eerie and hilarious absurdity.SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-DISC SET FEATURES:
