New Arrival The Exterminating Angel (#459)

A group of high-society friends are invited to a mansion for dinner and find themselves inexplicably unable to leave, in Luis Buuels daring masterpieceThe Exterminating Angel(El ngel exterminador). Made just one year after the directors international sensationViridiana,this film, full of eerie comic absurdity, continues Buuels wicked takedown of the rituals and dependencies of the frivolous upper classes.
