| Summary |
Stunning restored for the 50th anniversary, Belle de Jour is an elegant and erotic masterpiece and undoubtedly Luis Bunul's most accessible film. Severine (Catherine Deneuve), is 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 Clementi) and ignites an obsession that will court peril. |
