Repulsion (UK, 1965) November 13, 2010

Roman Polanski's horror-tinged thriller burrows deep into the psyche of Carole (Catherine Deneuve), a pathologically shy young Belgian who works as a manicurist in a snooty London salon and shares a shabby flat with her older sister. When sis takes off for the weekend with her married lover, the increasingly fragile Carole is left to fend off the advances of her creepy landlord and the attentions of a would-be boyfriend.
