Probably better than the other Bunuel films I have seen. You might wait until the DVD is released, if it doesn't take too long; I'm not kidding about the VHS print being horrid. A bunch of the subtitles are totally illegible.</p>JandyFri, 01 Feb 2008 01:00:11 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/2008/01/fb100-96-the-exterminating-angel/#comment-1753795<p>I haven't seen this one...I saw Virdiana last year for the first time last year...but now you've definitly got me interested.</p>RC of strangecultureFri, 01 Feb 2008 00:39:10 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/2008/01/fb100-96-the-exterminating-angel/#comment-1753791<p>Janus owns the rights to this, Tristana, Simon of the Desert, and the recently acquired Belle de Jour, so hopefully they will release it onto DVD. I was hoping for a Bunuel/Pinal boxset, but I think they are working on a Mexican Bunuel boxset with this title included.</p><p>Beside the title card, I remember certain scenes being edited differently, so that a scene where the couples all sit down at the table is repeated right after. If there were Janus logos before your copy, it may not have had this issue.</p>filmboTue, 29 Jan 2008 10:35:32 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/2008/01/fb100-96-the-exterminating-angel/#comment-1753794<p>Huh, yeah, I had the one with the title card at the beginning (which I kind of liked, actually--it amused me). What specific things were changed, can you remember? I didn't realize there were multiple versions out there. Does Criterion own the rights? Are they going to put it on DVD someday?</p>JandyMon, 28 Jan 2008 23:49:27 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/2008/01/fb100-96-the-exterminating-angel/#comment-1753793<p>Jandy, I'm curious as to your VHS tape. I saw the film when it was on TCM a few years ago and I quite liked it and wanted to see it again, so I rented the VHS tape and DAH! The version on video had the strange title card at the beginning and many of the scenes were re-edited to show repetition that was definitely NOT in the TCM/Janus screening.</p><p>Did your VHS also suffer from this stranger Americanized version?</p>filmboMon, 28 Jan 2008 23:26:55 -0000
