Repulsion (Roman Polanski, UK, 1965)

Left alone in her sister’s flat for a few weeks during the summer, the painfully shy and introverted Carol (Catherine Deneuve) is tormented by the unwanted advances of male suitors. A dark and troubling psychological thriller set in a decidedly unswinging London – with a final shot that lingers in the mind long after the end credits have rolled.

The theatrical trailer for Roman Polanski's breakthrough English-language film Repulsion, starring Catherine Deneuve.
One of Polanski’s most brilliant films... There can’t be many other films which so plausibly show an entire, warped world created from a single point of view.
