Informazioni su questo film

Elegant and erotic masterpiece and undoubtedly Luis Buñuel's most accessible film. Screen icon Catherine Deneuve plays Séverine, the glacially beautiful, sexually unfulfilled wife of a surgeon, whose blood runs icy with ennui until she takes a day-job in a brothel. There she meets a charismatic but sinister young gangster (Pierre Clémenti), and ignites an obsession that will court peril. Buñuel uses diffused lighting, dark colours, and shadows throughout the film to temper the gravity and emotional impact of each uncomfortable scene. Left to our own imaginative devices, the result is a film that is highly unsettling, perverse, and inevitably tragic.

Valutazioni e recensioni

Luis Buñuel's ethereal masterpiece is an sophisticated dream of erotic desire, where the border between what we call "reality" and "dream" are seamlessly blurred. Belle de Jour has a leisurely pace and a class of it's own that is undeniably high art European style from Luis Buñuel (The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg).
