The film Jennifer refers to is "The exterminating angel"(1962) by Luis
Bunuel  and it was the last one of his Mexican period and one of his best
films ever.  It introduces (probably for the first time) a series of
repetitions and cyclus which makes it very disturbing, only this factor
should make it the object of study of someone researching on time in the big
screen.
 
On the other hand a very surrealistic theme and mood makes it dificult to
believe that is based on Sartre's work and I very much doubt that it was
filmed (or pretended to portrait) real time.
But Jennifer sure has reasons to mention it and can probably update me on
the latteer. I would very much appreciate it.
