Saw Luis Buñuel’s #TheExterminatingAngel. Is Evelyn Waugh 1928 too mordant for your tastes? A High Wind in Jamaica too terrifying? …

… Is The Lord of the Flies overly emphatic? And Edward Gibbon just too damn long? Well this might be the Decline & Fall for you!

#TheExterminatingAngel, A run-of-the-mill bourgeois party develops a little difficulty regarding the guests’ departure for home …

… After that, in no time, the most convincing, systematic to the point of science portrayals of barbarian-at-the-gates entropy in all of cinema.

#TheExterminatingAngel. An exceeding simple analogy, a bright bit of gleeful misanthropy, an elegant & civilized howling …

… Once caused a class of intro-to-story BYU undergrads to rise up in a collective & spontaneous protest against me, my class programming …

… my very existence. There’s a lot to be said for a movie, this old & seemingly innocuous/inoffensive, that can accomplish all of that!
