... you can learn from:
The Exterminating Angel(1962)
Julio: The help becomes
more impertinent each day.
Great director Luis Bunuel was born on this day in the year 1900. Does anybody else get this film and Bunuel's 1972 film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie mixed up in their heads? Angel is about a group of rich folks who find themselves unable to leave a party, while Bourgeoisie is about a bunch of rich folks who can't seem to get the party started.
I suppose somebody's (probably a lot of somebodies) written a thesis about his different intents with these decade-spread flicks but not having actually watched either of these movies in several years I am not the person to do that right this second. But if anybody has any thoughts about them, feel free to share in the comments! I went through a big Bunuel phase, watching everything I could, but it was awhile back - somebody here in NYC needs to do a screening series.
