Belle De Jour (Classic Film Pick)
Luis
Bunuel’s 1967 film “Belle De Jour” starring Catherine Deneuve as the
wife of a wealthy doctor who begins spending her afternoons working in
a high-class French brothel specializing in the kinks of its clientele.
Outrageous and yet anchored in desire and erotic fantasy, “Belle de
Jour” is a fascinating cinematic achievement that dares to connect
Deneuve’s porcelain beauty to a world of bourgeois rebellion. It is a
sublime picture filled with surprise and nuance.
