Foreign / Drama • Rated R • 101 minutes
Robert et Raymond Hakin / Valoria Films

In Belle de Jour, the timeline and depictions of reality blur frequently and often violently. Disturbing images and themes emerge as Séverine (Deneuve) makes the decision to be a prostitute by day and a devoted wife to a man of means at night. Absolutely absorbing and dreamily artistic. Rating: A
