The Exterminating Angel Is One Of The Greatest Films I’ve Ever Seen

The Exterminating Angel was a great watch, beautiful, serene, with some flowing moments that were captured quite vividly on the screen. Occasionally, some interesting moments in the human condition

The movie begins with a formal dinner party, the servants leaving their posts, one by one, as the party progresses into the night, the hosts grow restless, wondering why there is no attempt to go home. As the morning begins, as the servant brings forward breakfast, the guests cannot leave the room, nor can the hosts themselves.

The beauty of the horror film influenced many contemporary horror films, with the social commentary, the silent, cinematography, and the ever-increasing tension. Although, as a surrealist film, it has some beautiful allegories and some interesting moments. Such as the bear chasing the sheep, the dead bodies hand creeping along the carpet, La Valkiria throwing a brick through a window,, a cliff and an eagle, a flock of sheep entering a church in single file, gunshots, and the ever-deepening complexity of the room they are stuck in.

There are times when logic and reason cannot save the mystery behind the room, even the doctor cannot explain why neither can any of the other guests.

Overall, a very good, and much recommended watch.
