Repulsion (1965). This brilliant psycho-thriller from Polanski shows how to make a disturbing movie with mundane horror. Catherine Deneuve was spectacular as the kitten-hearted and frail heroine. What she does with little dialogue and lots of brooding was magnificent. The rest of the actors were just as solid. Of course Polansky's direction was commendable as well. For the first time in a while i even understood some of the more blatant symbolism in a movie, a rarity for sure. The ending almost seemed a letdown until the end scene gave it subtle power and depth. My only complaint would be the black and white film, which was a bit harsh for me. Ashe.
