Buñuel's Banquet: Feasting on Satire in The Exterminating Angel (1962)
Update: 2024-01-12
Description
Luis Buñuel was a master at creating lasting images that stay in the viewers brain long after the film is over. He had a career that spanned multiple decades and working in multiple countries, yet he consistantly took aim at political and social elites.
In his 1962 masterpiece, The Exterminating Angel, the acclaimed filmmaker crafts an allegorical comedy that confronts the socio-political realities of Franco's Spain. Infused with a surrealistic touch and a substantial dose of satire, the film allows for a multi-layered interpretation.
Plus, it's just plain funny to watch the rich fall apart and destroy themselves.
