Description: Repulsion 1965 Catherine Deneuve washing bare feet in sink Original 8x10 Photo VG/Near Mint Condition "Repulsion" is a psychological horror film directed by Roman Polanski, released in 1965. The movie revolves around the deteriorating mental state of a young woman named Carol, brilliantly portrayed by Catherine Deneuve. The story takes place in London and follows Carol, a shy and introverted manicurist who lives with her sister. As the film progresses, it becomes evident that Carol suffers from deep-rooted psychological trauma and sexual repression. Her fragile psyche begins to unravel when her sister goes on a vacation, leaving Carol alone in their apartment. Isolated and plagued by disturbing visions and memories, Carol descends into a disturbing world of delusions and paranoia. The film explores her descent into madness, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination. Carol's fear and repulsion towards intimacy and sexual desire manifest themselves in a series of increasingly surreal and grotesque events. As the film progresses, Carol's mental state deteriorates further, and her phobia of men intensifies. She becomes haunted by imagined intruders and experiences violent and sexually charged hallucinations. The apartment itself transforms into a nightmarish labyrinth of shadows and foreboding. Polanski masterfully employs visual and auditory techniques to create a sense of claustrophobia and unease, using close-ups, distorted sounds, and a minimalist soundtrack. The film's atmospheric black-and-white cinematography enhances the psychological tension and adds to the overall sense of unease. "Repulsion" is regarded as a classic of psychological horror cinema, known for its exploration of sexual repression and the disintegration of the human psyche. Roman Polanski's direction, Catherine Deneuve's compelling performance, and the film's unsettling atmosphere combine to create a haunting portrayal of one woman's descent into madness.
