A group of high-society friends are invited to a mansion for dinner and inexplicably find themselves unable to leave in The Exterminating Angel (El ángel exterminador), a daring masterpiece from Luis Buñuel (Belle de jour, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie). Made just one year after his international sensation Viridiana, this film, full of eerie, comic absurdity, furthers Buñuel s wicked takedown of the rituals and dependencies of the frivolous upper classes.
