It is pointless to find any logical explanation for Belle de Jour. This is clearly not Luis Buñuel's intention. The merging of the "real" with the "fantasy" is the "surreal" and the perfect way in 1966 to attempt to explore such a culturally challenging topic as The Female Masochist.

Belle de Jour as perfect example of an accomplished artist who desires to make his audience think and contemplate what has been seen. A key desire that our culture seems to be losing at a horrifying pace. As a world culture, we appear to be losing the ability to actually think.

Without question, this is one of if not the most important Surrealist films ever made. A must see!
