TAGLINE : "Luis Bunuel's Masterpiece of Erotica!" - The film is included on Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list. This film is part of the Criterion Collection, spine #593. Included among the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die", edited by Steven Schneider. A frigid young housewife decides to spend her midweek afternoons as a prostitute. Severine is a beautiful young woman married to a doctor. She loves her husband dearly, but cannot bring herself to be physically intimate with him. She indulges instead in vivid, kinky, erotic fantasies to entertain her sexual desires. Eventually she becomes a prostitute, working in a brothel in the afternoons while remaining chaste in her marriage. "Belle de jour" is a day lily in French, a flower that blooms only by day, as Severine is available only during the afternoons. "Belle de jour" is also a sort of pun, as it reminds us of "belle de nuit," a euphemism for prostitute. CAST includes Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli, Genevieve Page, Muni, Claude Cerval, Macha Meril, Pierre Clementi, Maria Latour. Francisco Rabal, Georges Marchal. VIEWER COMMENT : "Wishing, Wanting And Longing! Sèverine is perfect, she's Catherine Deneuve. She consciously inhabits her subconscious and the comings and goings are tinted with pristine, erotic decadence. Her perfection includes outrage without rage, panic without fear. Having or not having is the question she never asks. Her husband Pierre, the exquisite Jean Sorel, is like one of her garments. There, stunning, understated, reliable, existing without existing. Marcel, in the other hand, the riveting Pierre Clementi, seems determined to provoke. Provoke what? Where is that need creeping from? I love to meander through "Belle de Jour" allowing Luis Bunuel to have his fun. He deserves it. His puzzle is just that, a puzzle and his genius, challenge us to find the non existent pieces. The pieces are ours coming from our own wishes, wantings and longings."
