An icy, enigmatic sketch of eroticism and masochistic psyche with a lingering taste, affirmed by the ravishing beauty and radiant performance from Deneuve, garbed in Yves Saint Laurent.
A harrowing mental descent into schizophrenia, claustrophobia, hysteria, and sexual repression, accompanied by voyeuristic pleasure. Injecting Repulsion with surrealistic touches, Polanski has done an exceptional job in pulling audiences into the crazed mind.
