Brooklyn Cinema Forum presents Latin Surrealism, an exploration of freedom and resistance in Latino cinema using dream logic and absurdity to question power, belief and identity.
The Exterminating Angel is Luis Buñuel’s savage surreal dismantling of wealth, ritual, and social power. After a lavish dinner, a group of elites find themselves inexplicably unable to leave the room, as decorum collapses into panic and cruelty.
We’ll be screening the 4K restoration from Radiance Films’ Nothing Is Sacred: Three Heresies by Luis Buñuel box set, sourced from original film elements and presenting one of the defining works of Buñuel’s Mexican period.
