Repulsion

Roman Polanski followed up his international breakthrough Knife in the Water with this controversial, chilling tale of psychosis. Catherine Deneuve is Carol, a fragile, frigid young beauty cracking up in her London flat when left alone by her vacationing sister. She is soon haunted by spectres real and imagined, and her insanity grows to a violent, hysterical pitch. Thanks to its disturbing detail and Polanski's adeptness at turning claustrophobic space into an emotional minefield, Repulsion is a surreal, mind-bending odyssey into personal horror, and it remains one of cinema's most shocking psychological thrillers.Restored high-definition digital transfer, approved by directorRoman Polanski, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackAudio commentary featuring Polanski and actor Catherine DeneuveA British Horror Film (2003), a documentary on the making of Repulsion, featuring interviews with Polanski, producer Gene Gutowski, and cinematographer Gilbert Taylor, among othersA 1964 French television documentary filmed on the set of Repulsion, with rare footage of Polanski and Deneuve at workOriginal theatrical trailersPLUS: An essay by film scholar and curator Bill Horrigan​
