If you loved El discreto encanto de la burguesía, try El ángel exterminador
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
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 El discreto encanto de la burguesía, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What El ángel exterminador 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.
