SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“[T]he greatest of all Spanish filmmakers.”
93 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Luis Buñuel. In Spanish with English subtitles.
A group of high-society friends are invited to a mansion for dinner and inexplicably find themselves unable to leave in Luis Buñuel’s daring masterpiece The Exterminating Angel (El ángel exterminador). 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.
