Movie Description
The invited guests at an elegant dinner party find a mysterious force compels them not to leave. After several days hunger and thirst set in and the guest start to fall apart.

Credits
Cast:Jacqueline Andere, Silvia Pinal

Notes
Produced by Uninci Films 59.

Premiered in Mexico May 8, 1962.

There is an old Mexican saying: "After twenty-four hours, corpses and houseguests start to smell bad."

Buñuel had this to say about the film: "[It is] a metaphor, a deeply felt, disturbing reflection of the life of modern man, a witness to the fundamental preoccupations of our time. Its images, like the images in a dream, do not reflect reality, but themselves create it."

The film is based on an unpublished play entitled "Los Náufragos" by José Bergamín.

The original scenario was entitled "Los Náufragos de la calle de la Providencia."

Additional cast: Luis Beristáin (Christián); Antonio Bravo (Russell); Claudio Brook (Majordomo); César del Campo (The Colonel); Rosa Elena Durgel (Silvia); Lucy Gallardo (Lucía, Nobile's Wife); Enrique García Alvarez (Señor Roc); Ofelia Guilmain (Juana Avila); Nadia Haro Olivia (Ana Maynar); Tito Junco (Raúl); Xavier Loya (Francisco Avila); Xavier Massé (Eduardo); Angel Merino (Lucas, the Waiter); Ofelia Montesco (Beatriz, Eduardo's Fiancée); Patricia Morán (Rita, Christián's Wife); Patricia de Morelos (Blanca); and Bertha Moss (Leonora).

Editorial Reviews
"...Surreal....THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL is fantasy filmmaking..."
Los Angeles Times - Mark Chalon Smith (04/25/1996)

"...Luis Bunuel's THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL is a macabre comedy, a mordant view of human nature....He created a world so particular, it is impossible to watch any Bunuel film for very long without knowing who its director was..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (05/11/1997)

"[THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL is] among the most free-spirited of Bunuel's films, fully recovering the nonnarrative liberty of his earliest work."
New York Times - Dave Kehr (02/06/2009)
