The Exterminating Angel**    
(Mexico 1962)

Aristocrats at a dinner party abandoned by most of the servants find themselves mysteriously trapped in the house and unable to get out, until they eventually escape to a church where a similar fate awaits them.
Oddly haunting semi-surreal drama by Bunuel, with no identifiable meaning other than the self-oppression of the establishment and the church. An ensemble cast and some vivid moments hold the attention as the situation become increasingly restless and surreal.
