"When we go to Lourdes will you buy me a washable rubber virgin?"
Which comes from The Exterminating Angel and is the weirdest line I've heard in a film that I can remember.
The film itself is 1962, Mexican (with subtitles), black and white and very weird (the setting is an upper-class dinner party). We watched it last night I don't know if I'd recommend it. I've found a review which states: "With The Exterminating Angel, the viewers are lucky enough to receive a statement by the director at the beginning of the movie. Therefore using that statement as a guide to make sense of the movie would be a very wise choice. The statement reads as follows 'The best explanation of this film is that, from the standpoint of pure reason, there is no explanation.'" I don't remember this statement from our version, but it does kinda sum up the film. Anyway, weird, a classic and regarded as one of the best Mexican films of all time.
