The Exterminating Angel is a 1962 Mexican surrealist black comedy film written and directed by Luis Buñuel. The film stars Silvia Pinal and was produced by Pinal's then-husband Gustavo Alatriste. It tells the story of a group of wealthy guests who find themselves unable to leave after a lavish dinner party, and the chaos that ensues. Sharply satirical and allegorical, the film contains a depiction of the aristocracy that suggests they "harbor savage instincts and unspeakable secrets".
