Product Description

 
An exquisite tale of self-discovery and tragic passion, Luis Bunuel's 1967 BELLE DE JOUR is one of the crowning achievements of the director's brilliant career. Famous for giddily manipulating audiences in order to make his point, Bunuel boldly blurs the line between fantasy and reality once again. It is this gleeful mischievousness that makes BELLE DE JOUR such a classic. Catherine Deneuve's performance reaffirms her status as one of world cinema's most electrifying actresses.

Based on Joseph Kessel's 1928 novel, the film follows a recently married French housewife, Severine (Deneuve), as she is overcome by a wash of uncontainable erotic passions. After a brutal gang rape turns out to be mere fantasy, Severine finds herself in a nearby brothel acting out a series of sexual acts. At night, she returns home to her loving husband, Pierre (Jean Sorel), who is unaware of the double life that she is leading--or is she, really?

A Strange Ride In The Country

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: Stylish foreign film with a surprise ending
Review: Artistic Spanish Director Luis Bunuel's 1967 psychodrama Belle de Jour, begins and ends with a quaint carriage ride in the French countryside, as colorful autumnal leaves flurry about. From there, the scene shifts dramatically to a sadomasochistic...

Blurring the Line Between Erotic Fantasy and Reality

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for the interesting and erotic theme, brilliant performance by Deneuve, and wonderful ambiguities built in by Buñuel
Review: Luis Buñuel's marvelous film Belle de Jour (1967) is a psychodrama detailing the dual life of a woman of sophistication who is wife of a wealthy surgeon by night but a prostitute by day. Buñuel was a true film master whose penetrating...

"Belle de Jour"; beautiful day, beautiful film

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2000
Review: One of the many beauties of "Belle de Jour" is that it doesn't show us too much. The irony of it is that director Luis Bunuel was hardly one to hold anything back in his earlier films. His short 1929 surrealistic masterpiece "Un Chien Andalou" is...
