November 15, 2009Director Polansk's films are always laced with not-so-subtle sexual overtones and Repulsion is certainly no exception. Catherine Deneuve is wonderful as the paranoid manicurist who slowly descends into complete madness.
-
August 19, 2009Extremely slow moving and hard to keep watching. The style of filming and the methods used throughout to interpret the state of mind were intriguiging and of course you can see the Polanski stamp here. The slow moving pace certainly emphasised the more graphic scenes, but for m...( read more)

August 17, 2009It was in the mid-late 1960's that Catherine Deneuve cemented herself as much more than a pretty face. Prior to "Repulsion"'s release, she appeared in Jacques Demy's wonderful "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", whom she would again collaborate with in 1967's "The Young Girls of Rochef...( read more)

It's hard to get a clear message from this movie, it can be seen in a thousand different ways. It's precise film making from Roman Polanski t...( read more)

November 13, 2009Roman Polanski's disturbing film was such a critical and public success that it quickly established itself as a classic. The chilling feeling of incipient madness has seldom been realised with such skill and imagination and many of its more famous hallucinatory scenes have been i...( read more)

November 3, 2009Extremely disturbing dive into madness. For sure, the best acting by Catherine Deneuve.

September 24, 2009A woman is left alone in her sister's apartment and slowly starts losing her mind.
I found this movie to be rather uneven. On one hand I wasn't convinced that the woman had a reason to go crazy while on the other hand the mix of reality and nightmare really worked to give the a...( read more)
