The porcelain perfection of Catherine Deneuve (Repulsion) hides a cracked interior in the actress€s most iconic role: S©verine, a chilly Paris housewife by night, a bordello prostitute by day. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Bu±uel (Viridiana) is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters€ and its viewers€), as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression, which was one of Bu±uel€s biggest hits.
