Belle De Jour(Luis Bunuel, 67) Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli. dvd
Bunuel's darkly comic erotic masterpiece about a frigid, virginal bourgeous housewife who works afternoons as a prostitute. Bunuel subtly shifts between sexual fantasy and reality until the two become indistinguishable in the ambiguous final reel. The cause and effect of sexual repression and peversity--between the church and sin--is made clear, in spite of a censored funeral mass that was intended to run before the scene of incestuous necrophillia.
