Review of Repulsion (1965) by Greg S — 06 Oct 2008
When her sister/caretaker takes a well deserved vacation, mentally fragile Carole (Catherine Deneuve) holes up inside her lonely apartment and retreats into her head, which is haunted by irrational fears about men.
Deneuve's portrait of a terrified and tormented mind barricading itself away from the world is simply magnificent, one of the most realistic and frightening portrayals of mental illness ever captured on film.
