Review of Belle de Jour (1967) by John M — 23 Jul 2014
Interesting Buñuel piece about a woman seeking liberation by being a "woman of the day" since she is only available while her husband's at work.
What follows is a series of events that takes her down a new road she might not be ready for. Deneuve is excellent in her role. Buñuel offers some classic imagery that he has been famous for.
But, in the end, you wonder if there is much point beyond Deneuve's journey. And, the ending is left to interpretation. That isn't bad, and is actually the highlight of the film, since it is where the film is set free.
