Watching Catherine Denevue (Repulsion, 1965)

Roman Polanski considered his first English-speaking movie, Repulsion (1965), “the shabbiest” of all his films. Judging by its lack of complexity, I would have to agree. But still, I think it’s a breakthrough in performance for Catherine Denevue. A psychological thriller, Repulsion tells the story of a young girl who is isolated from society and turns mad in return, leaving two dead men behind.
