Summary:After a lavish dinner party in a stately mansion, the guests believe themselves unable to leave the premises. As the days pass, the elaborate facades of their social positions collapse and they are forced to live like animals. Finally discovering they are actually free to leave, they go to church to give thanks, where they are again trapped.

Review by Library Journal Review

Using his typical deadpan style, Mexican surrealist Luis BuOuel makes mincemeat of the egocentric upper crust in Angel (see Trailers, LJ 1/09), where the guests at a party find they can never leave-not the next day nor in subsequent weeks-even as their conditions deteriorate. Desert finds the sly master of absurdity poking fun at religion. An ascetic resides indefinitely on a stone pillar in order to make himself worthy, then encounters the devil in the form of a woman. For serious film devotees. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
