| Belle de Jour | comment |
Belle de Jour is one of the most famous films directed by Luis Buñuel. It was based on Joseph Kessel's eponymous erotic novel. Released in 1967, it starred then-débutante Catherine Deneuve.Séverine (Deneuve) looks outwardly like the perfect Housewife. Beautiful, demure, well-mannered and impeccably groomed, she is the very image of bourgeois propriety. In fact she is a masochist who likes to fantasize about being humiliated and treated like a sex object. On the recommendation of a friend, she acts out on these fantasies by becoming a part-time sex worker in an upscale brothel. Since she only turns tricks during her husband's business hours, she is given the moniker Belle de Jour, "beauty of the day".Available from the The Criterion Collection (No. 593). | |

I Love the Dead | |
| Belle de Jour / int_217a1adf | comment |
I Love the Dead / Incest Subtext: The freakiest scene in the movie involves Séverine randomly meeting a stranger—not in her brothel, but when she's out and about—who invites her back to the mansion. The stranger has her dress up in a see-through robe, and then has her lie in a coffin. The stranger then calls her his daughter, before masturbating next to the coffin that contains a surprised Séverine. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
| Belle de Jour / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: Bunuel deliberately used Deneuve's appearance as a blond ice queen to emphasize the contrast between her straight-laced persona and her real inner self. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Belle de Jour / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: Not even Luis Bunuel himself was entirely sure what it meant. The sound of the carriage bells, which in other scenes are associated with her sexual fantasies, implies that she is imagining the last scene. | |

Imagine Spot: Some scenes are clearly Séverine's erotic fantasies, like the two scenes where her husband ties her up and sexually humiliates her, and the scene where she and Henri crawl under a table together while Pierre and Henri's wife idly chat. How much of the rest of the film is reality, and how much is Séverine's fantasies, is unclear. | |
