Cinema of the World

A filmmaker (van den Driessche) holds a series of boundary-pushing auditions for his project about female pleasure.

In 2005, Jean-Claude Brisseau was found guilty of sexual harassment after several actresses complained that he asked them to masturbate as part of their auditions. The following year, he made Exterminating Angels, depicting a director who conducts a rather unconventional series of auditions for a project about female sexual pleasure. Clearly, Brisseau isn't one to shy away from placing his head on the critical chopping block.

The New York Times
A.O. Scott
"Blends a frank appeal to the audience's nether regions with some teasing attention to its mind. Exterminating Angels is seriously dirty — the only film I can recall seeing at a critics' screening accompanied by the 2257 compliance certificate required of movies that contain unsimulated sex — and also, in its own windy, Gallic way, perfectly serious."

New York
David Edelstein
"Exterminating Angels is meant as an autocritique — and yet the director can't get past his notion of himself as a fearlessly transgressive artist-hero, a martyr to the limitations of male gaze. With all those lovely naked women helping him act out his own Promethean fall, it's less autocritique than autoeroticism, an especially pretentious entry in the French cinema du wank."

Variety
Lisa Nesselson
"If exiting viewers could all be asked "Was it good for you?" the likely answer is "Yes". . . there is no question that the [film] is both titillating and intellectually rigorous. . . there's a lot of deliberate humor to leaven the threat of pretentiousness."

The Village Voice
Rob Nelson
"Despite the title, this movie is more salacious than surreal. Exterminating Angels is about people who come... and come and come again... [this is] one audaciously, endearingly ludicrous movie."
