REPULSION (England, Roman Polanski, 1965)

Probably one of the most unsettling pieces psychological horror has ever produced, it came from the great master of cinema and Polish auteur Roman Polanski. Repulsion (1965) is a film shot in England starring French cinema diva Catherine Deneuve, who plays Carol Ledoux, a beautiful young woman who, left alone in her sister's apartment, comes face to face with one of her greatest fears: the feeling of attraction and repulsion toward men, toward sex, and toward her own body. Fear evolves into the horror of becoming a stranger to herself and to others. From hallucination it moves to delirium, and from there to the destruction of her own psyche.

Polanski delivers one of his finest films, in which he demonstrates, with great mastery and artistry, a sublime exploration of one of the great themes in his filmography: the destruction of the human psyche.

Essential viewing for lovers of psychological horror.
