QuickView
Story-line: Séverine, deeply bored by her relationship with hubby Pierre, fantasizes about sex and even seeks part-time work as a prostitute.
Pluses: a startling and surreal atmosphere, Catherine Deneuve’s aura, Michel Piccoli’s evil (and hilarious) presence.
Minuses: none whatsoever. BELLE DE JOUR is a twisted masterpiece, not a smutty movie.
Comments: watching this picture is a life experience. Trust the great Luis Buñuel to present you with thought-provoking material. One of international cinema’s true gems.
