Repulsion (Criterion Collection)

Roman Polanski followed up his international breakthrough Knife In The Water with this controversial, chilling tale of psychosis, starring Catherine Deneuve as Carole, a fragile, frigid young beauty cracking up over the course of a terrifying weekend. Left alone by her vacationing sister in their London flat, Carole is haunted by specters real and imagined, and her insanity grows to a violent pitch. Thanks to its unforgettable attention to disturbing detail and Polanski's unparalleled adeptness at turningclaustrophobic space into an emotional minefield, Repulsion remains one of cinema's most shocking psychological thrillers.
