Belle de Jour (Classics Remastered) Blu-Ray

Screen Icon Catherine Deneuve plays Severine, 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, and ignites an obsession that will court peril.

Bunuel 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.
