The porcelain perfection of Catherine Deneuve (Repulsion) hides a cracked interior in the actresss most iconic role: Severine, a chilly Paris housewife by night, a bordello prostitute by day. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buuel (Viridiana) is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters and its viewers), as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression, which was one of Bunuel's biggest hits.
