If you loved Der diskrete Charme der Bourgeoisie, try Der Würgeengel
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Luis Buñuel, and they both carry the cerebral, foreign gem, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der diskrete Charme der Bourgeoisie, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Der Würgeengel is
A gaggle of guests discovers that hotel exits no longer recognize them as valid. Over the next few days their manners curdle into claws and they start acting like people who’ve forgotten they own silverware. A fascinating if faintly unpleasant experiment in what happens when humans stop pretending.
