Almost 60 years after it was originally released, his film “The Exterminating Angel” has never been more relevant.

If not necessarily Buuel's greatest film, this unclassifiable creation must count as one of the most twisted stunts ever mounted for the screen.

My feeling is that his canvas is too narrow and his social comment too plain to keep our interest fixed upon his people and their barren stewing for an hour and a half.

…investigates a shared reality tilting towards communal atrophy; it’s a haunting, visionary work by one of the 20th century’s consummate film-makers..
