Exterminating Angels is a very good, intelligent film that explores the erotic frontiers with a strong female perspective, this is an interesting film to watch. Director Francois (Frederic van den Driessche) becomes obsessed by the mysteries surrounding women and sexual pleasure, exploring societal and sexual taboos… a graphically sexual and explicit film exploring how obsession with sexual pleasure and breaking taboos can take over and destroy people’s lives and can become an addiction.
A startling journey into the erotic. Director François (Frédéric van den Driessche) is fascinated by the link between taboo and female pleasure. Intent on making a film about the subject, he auditions a series of actresses, who enact their deepest, forbidden desires. Watched over by two fallen angels, Francois immersion into the world of his actresses fantasies threatens to destroy him. Brisseau’s sexually charged film, whose philosophical inquiry into pleasures of the flesh is often leavened by the director’s sly humour, is a provocative and intense experience.
