The shipwrecked people of 13th street
|
Shot in 1962 during his exile in Mexic provoked by the dictatorship of general Franco, " El angel exterminador " is a delicious radiography of the middle-class where the genial spanish filmmaker makes a dissection of their superstitions, rites, falses prejudices and fears with sarcastic humour and his surreal and thought-provoking imaginary. The film had originally to be entitled " Los naufragos de la calle nA 13 ", a very graphic commentary of the pathetic situation of their protagonists, but finally BuA uel prefered the most stimulating and sardonically biblic title of " The exterminating angel ". A group of bourgeoises joined around a supper party refuses obstinately to abandone the room hunted by an irrational panic, becoming so prisioners of themselves in a house whose doors are unlocked and where nobody hold them. Completely defenceless like childs without the help of the servants the time passes in their virtual prison and the masks begin to fall down and their most repressed instints come pathetically untied.
Very, very recommendable. |
