Review of Belle de Jour (1967) by John W — 19 Oct 2014
Director Luis Bunuel's masterpiece is one of the most enigmatic films of its period. Erotic but not gratuitous, the film is infused with a certain elegance which seems out of place in the setting of a brothel, where much of the action takes place.
Ultimately, it may be that this film is nothing but the fantasy of a bored, sexually repressed housewife, played perfectly by the gorgeous but frigid Catherine Deneuve.
