The Exterminating Angel [Blu-ray]

After a night at the opera, a group of bourgeois party guests find themselves inexplicably unable to leave the dining room where they are sequestered. Over several days of entrapment, the group descends into savagery in Luis Buñuel's highly influential masterpiece. This film, the second of Buñuel’s celebrated Mexican collaborations with Silvia Pinal, is an enduring work blending horror, comedy, drama, and sharp social commentary. It was recognized in the 2022 Sight and Sound Critics Poll as one of the 200 greatest films of all time.
