Pros: Decent ensemble acting; some nifty surreal images Cons: Toothless satire; feeble humor; one old idea, repeated for the umpteenth time
I've put off watching this film, directed by the great Luis Buñuel, for a long time, mainly because I didn't expect that it would be one I would like. It is often likened to Buñuel's The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie, which is ...
Pros: Bunuel's Direction/Script, Look, Cinematography, Editing, Sound, & Cast. Cons: A Bit Slow Early On & Might Be Too Strange for Some Audiences.

nature of some directors...
I am appalled not to find any negative comments on the film since, when watching it with my entire philosophy class, half the room was asleep by the time the film had finished. This in itself is a good thing since when, in my half lethargic state, I ...
Pros: well made in every respect, funny Cons: film quality is bad, subtitles hard to read in places
Surrealism is definitely not for everybody. There are those that will find The Exterminating Angel silly or too strange but those who stay with it will find Angel an extremely amusing film. Luis Bunuel's film concerns guests at a party who find...
