Description
From the director who scandalized France together with SECRET THINGS, comes EXTERMINATING ANGELS, a film this will shock you, do you believe and turn you on. Francois is a filmmaker holding auditions for his upcoming film concerning female pleasure. He expects the process to be unconventional but cannot predict the danger this so much arousal can cause. As his female cast embarks on a journey of intense physical pleasure-seeking they become emotionally involved together with the director and every other. This indie film from IFC delivers new meaning to the warning to never mix business together with pleasure.

Classy beautifully made erotic tale   2010-03-04
By Rockydoc (Colorado, USA)
This is the second of Jean Claude Brisseau's trilogy of erotic tales. The camera work is again extraordinary as it was in Secret Things and l'aventure. The story is about a film maker making a documentary on the female climax. The interviews for prospective models adds a very light and comic turn to the movie. However, as in his other films, there is always a sense of foreboding that it is all going to go wrong somewhere. As much as he tries to stay above and removed from the eroticism of his models, and professes to care only about the film project, there is increasingly the suspicion that this is a tragedy and not a comedy. The mystic or metaphysical element that is always in Brisseau's films is very mcuh present in "Angels". He seems to be stalked by fallen angels that only the audience can see but that can whisper in his ear to influence him. They quite clearly mean him no good. Watch for scenes as the one where he poses two of the girls by an open door with only the light from the hotel hallway and instructs one to make the other come again. The beautiful indirect light on their bodies makes the whole scene much sexier and more erotic. Fabulous camera work. Oh yes, you may be wondering. The models are all very attractive with sensational bodies. There is full nudity and more lesbian play than boy girl scenes, as the girls help each other out achieving climaxes for the camera. Clearly this is a full step above almost anything else you might have seen in this genre. Brisseau proves again that he can tell a story, create dramatic tension with his characters, while creating eroticism. It is in French with English subtitles and everyone acts their parts extremely well.
The Exterminating Angels   2009-12-10
By Doug (Cleveland, Ohio)
I got this movie in hopes that it would be as erotic as his previous movie "Secret Things". To say the least, I was disappointed. It does more less give a hint to reveal what happen to the director for making that movie though.

This was the most unbelievably stupid movie I have every watched. Save your money for something else worthwhile. Doesn't even deserve one star.
[3.5]--This services a mixture of confusion, fear, excitement and awe   2008-03-18
By Jenny J.J.I. (That Lives in Northern Nevada)
I thought this was a decent film and I understand where the director was getting at. It's not easy to talk about and can be read on different levels. It presents itself as a fairly straightforward, commercial film with all the necessary ingredients to summon a huge, mainly masculine, crowd. "The Exterminating Angels" tells the story of filmmaker François (Frédéric van den Driessche) who aims to make a film exploring female eroticism, during pre-production he put two women, Charlotte (Maroussia Dubreuil) and Julie (Lise Bellynck) to the test by filming them have sex, then a third joins, waitress Stéphanie (Marie Allan) in and they develop a close sexual bond. So much so that they begin to enjoy the thrill of having sex in front of François who they grow to covet. The relationship becomes dangerous when François discovers that temptation, jealousy and lust puts his film in jeopardy. First of all, some may call me ignorant but I have no idea what the meaning of the angles are in this film? The symbolism slipped by me. They watch over the filmmaker and occasionally influence situations, other than that it's a mystery. Perhaps it's a statement about those that watch over us may also have the power to mess with us? Furthermore this film is an incredibly male-centred fantasy piece that pushes the envelope. It's a total "I wish" movie to see a bunch of ladies get it on? It seemed like Brisseau was playing out his fantasy by proxy through the character François or to a certain extent using the character as a means to justify what he asks women to do for his films. Some may call it sophisticated art while others porn but the bottom line is that the film does features some erotic scenes, many of which are border-line porn. Nothing to the extremes as seen in the tastefully bad "Baise-Moi" (2000) hardcore porn masquerading as art-house cult cinema, this film is at least tasteful in it's depictions of lesbian interactions, well as tasteful as they can be anyway. I also found the film to be incredibly slow to an artful degree, if it wasn't for the occasional bouts of sex that broke up the mundane and occasionally pretentious dialogue this would have been a totally mind-numbing experience. I even felt that the performances by the young female cast members to be totally void of any emotion even when engaging with themselves it was like watching robots programmed to perform a specific function, this film is supposed to be about exploring female eroticism (at least that's what the character of François was going for) yet I felt that these girls didn't connect with one another. What I did like was the film's noir tone and visual style is rather impressive and the film's themes become somewhat clearer when looked at in this light, the manipulative undertones surface and the complexity of this film's core is revealed, however at the end of the day "The Exterminating Angels" is too art house for the art house crowd and not explicit enough for the porno crowd...it lays in a strange middle ground.
