Luis Bunuel's wicked, ambiguous tale of a bourgeois dinner party gone rather remarkably wrong has finally become available on DVD in North America in an excellent edition from the Criterion Collection. El Angel Exterminador (aka The Exterminating Angel) has been transferred to disc in its original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, with the image slightly window-boxed to make the full picture visible on all screens. The picture quality is just slightly below Criterion's usually high standards; while the image is clean of blemishes and as sharp as possible, the image in the early reels sometimes looks a bit streaky, which appears to be a fault in the processing of the source materials rather than any flaws in the transfer, though as the picture grows darker and moodier, Gabriel Figueroa's shadowy cinematography looks noticeably better. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono, and sounds good, though a bit tinny, again a fault of the original recording rather than any flaws in Criterion's transfer. The dialogue is in Spanish, with optional English subtitles but no multiple language options. The feature and the film's original theatrical trailer appear on disc one of this set, while disc two features The Last Script: Remembering Luis Bunuel, a charming feature-length documentary in which Juan Bunuel, the director's son, visits a number of the cities where the great surrealist lived and worked, including Madrid, Toledo, Paris, Hollywood, New York and Mexico City, while talking to his friends and collaborators. One of the people who chats with Juan Bunuel in The Last Script is actress Silvia Pinal, who also sits for a short interview shot exclusively for this disc, while the disc also includes another interview with producer and director Arturo Ripstein, who was an observer on the set of The Exterminating Angel as a teenager. A beautifully designed booklet, featuring an essay by Marsha Kinder and excerpts from mid-Seventies interviews with Luis Bunuel, fills out a superb set that treats one of the crown jewels of Bunuel's Mexican period as the treasure it truly is.
