Repulsion (Roman Polanski, 1965)

Masks. Cracks. Cracks in the walls, cracks in the floor. Clock ticking. Razor blade, rabbit. Neurosis. Distorted images. Extreme close-ups. Music, sound effects. Rabbit's head in the purse. Man. Tick-tack, tick-tack, tick-tack. Men. Paranoia. Walls again, hands coming out the walls. Rape. Imaginary rape. The city. Insanity. Walking, high heels clicking. Sister, family photo. Lack of music. Lack of sound effects. Catherine Deneuve. Click-clack, click-clack. Madness. Fear. Sex. Repression. Decay. Bells, children playing outside. Hallucinations. Murder. Final frame. Repulsion. Masterpiece.

11/10
