As Peary notes, this film represents one of Bu\u00f1uel&#8217;s &#8220;many indictments of the bourgeoise&#8221; given &#8220;it is they who have contaminated society&#8221; and now they are transformed &#8220;into the smelly, violent, uncouth people they&#8217;ve always despised.&#8221; The guests &#8212; caught in a living nightmare from which they can&#8217;t awake, without servants to help mediate their pressing needs &#8212; eventually begin to lose every shred of their carefully seasoned civility, making &#8220;brutally honest remarks about each other&#8221; that &#8220;may seem like cheap shots, but are a big improvement over the false respect that previously distinguished their relationships.&#8221; Nothing is left sacred here: suicide, infidelity, and bitterly sarcastic barbs all come to bear as the days go by and nothing seems to change for the trapped guests.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A powerful allegory of bourgeois conformity and fragility<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5-1024x635.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"397\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-54779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5-1024x635.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5-128x79.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5-768x476.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5-1536x952.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5-436x270.png 436w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still5.png 1625w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3-1024x656.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"410\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-54775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3-128x82.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3-1536x985.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3-421x270.png 421w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still3.png 1621w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2-1024x643.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"402\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-54776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2-1024x643.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2-768x482.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2-1536x965.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2-430x270.png 430w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/Exterminating-Angel-Still2.png 1635w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes.
