A Deneuve Dozen
REPULSION
DIRECTOR: ROMAN POLANSKI
POLAND/GREAT BRITAIN, 1965
A chilling homage to Hitchcock and a stunning portrayal of mental instability and psychosexual tension, Polanski’s first English language film stars Deneuve as an icily beautiful woman left alone in her claustrophobic apartment over a weekend. Soon, fearful fantasies of hounding men lead to horrific breakdowns, hallucinations, and unhinged violence. “One of the most intelligent horror movies ever made.”—Time Out. (105 mins.)
