Film. Spanish Literature. Translated from the Spanish by Chase Madar. One of Luis Bunuel's most sardonically humorous and visually dazzling movies, THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL reveals the capacity for a screenplay to also be a linguistically brilliant satire of social aspirations. Here, the 1962 film presents itself in script form as an important work of literature.
A master filmmaker, inimitable, and unrelenting in his assault on bourgeois values. Like Pasolini, his work offers a remarkably sophisticated political analysis, but remains based in the essentially peasant values of storytelling, and the purposefully unsystematic supervisions of laughter.
