Product Description
The porcelain perfection of Catherine Deneuve (Repulsion) hides a cracked interior in the actress’s most iconic role: Séverine, a chilly Paris housewife by night, a bordello prostitute by day. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel (Viridiana) is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters’ and its viewers’), as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression, which was one of Buñuel’s biggest hits.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's more of a psychological study of the main character, and not really an erotic film designed to tantalize or arouse sexual interest. It was in the foreign film section so I took a chance on it, and shrugged my shoulders at the thing. It's interesting for the time in which it was made, but I think society is more sexually adjusted (and perhaps immature for all of its' knowledge about sex to point of over indulgence) and in this regard the film seems somewhat pact.
Still, if you want to get a window look into French sexual morays in popular cinema, then this film might prove to be worth a night's viewing. Personally I think there're better films out there, but your mileage may vary on that.
