MOVIE NIGHT
Tuesday, May 12 8:00 PM (FREE)
El Ángel Exterminador (1962) - Luis Buñuel
After a lavish dinner party, the guests find themselves mysteriously unable to leave the room... and over the next few days all the elaborate pretenses and facades that they've built up by virtue of their position in society collapse completely as they become reduced to the people they actually are ...
This quietly hysterical film has languished in obscurity since its release in 1962; as of April this year, Criterion has cleaned it up - most versions were barely watchable public domain copies in horrible condition - and they have done a tremendous job restoring it.
Our short is Jan Svankmeier's The Death of Stalin in Bohemia.
