Questa vive con la sorella un rapporto di semi-soggezione psicologica e di attaccamento morboso che la spinge a detestarne l'amante con cui la do... read more

My first viewing, but wow! This film takes visual storytelling to a whole new level! And the use of sound is extraordinary, whether it's doorbells ringing, phones ringing, flies buzzing or knives slashing and since there's a limited amount of actual music they become the soundtrack. It's a tough watch as there are plenty of vile images (the skinned rabbit which is just left to be devoured by the f... read more

Honestly, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely watch it again whenever I have the opportunity. Back in those days, after making only one full length feature in Poland (the also brilliant ‘Nóz w wodzie’), Roman Polanski didn’t hang around very long and took off pretty much right away to start an international career. Eventually, his first stop would be in ... read more

Description: Roman Polanski was still a newcomer to the world of cinema when he unleashed this unforgettable exercise in skin-crawling terror. Repulsion was the Polish director's first film in English, but that hardly mattered: much of the movie is as wordless (and as weird) as the silent Nosferatu. The young Catherine Deneuve plays a Belgian girl stranded in '60s London, a shy beauty with no social skills. When her sister leaves their shared flat, Deneuve goes gradually, quietly, completely mad. Her world becomes Polanski's paintbox, as the devilish director distorts reality via a series of surrealistic touches (grasping hands that protrude ... (more)

"10.3. Tallenne Uusintakatselu. En ollut Inhoakaan reiluun 15 vuoteen nähnyt ja jotakin oli sillekin tapahtunut. Jännä väliinputoaja maastossa, jossa Buñuel-vaikutteinen surrealismi ja aina kiinnostava mielenterveyden hidas rapistuminen kyllä purevat, mutta tätä ympäröivä kuvailu ei enää saa samalla tavalla sisäänsä. Esimerkiksi miesten sikailu vaikutuksineen kävisi selväksi vähemmälläkin rinnanhakkaamisella, jolloin jäisi myös enemmän päänrapsuteltavaa. Ja vastaavasti"

" Director: Roman Polanski His 2nd Movie My 11th movie watched from the director A compelling, often silent, psychological drama that requires the audience to live within in the protagonist. I loved the editing and cinematography. It feels New Wave, which I really like. This time in European cinema had so many successful near-experimental films. Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Roman Polanski Top Ten Performances - Catherine Deneuve __________ Locations: London, England, UK "
