repulsion (1965)


"I must get this crack mended."
Carol (Catherine Deneuve) lives in London with her sister Helen (Yvonne Furneaux). Outwardly she lives a normal life, but has a dislike of men. Her phobia's begin to take over when Helen leaves Carol alone in the flat, as she goes on holiday, Leaving Carole to descend into madness...
This is the one to watch if you want huge doses of sibling rivalry, sexual repression, rape fantasies and hallucinations. Polanski manages to create an atmosphere of claustrophobia and unease with a minimal of dialogue or shock tactics.
