Film sensazionale.Una continua carrellata sulle angosce e sull'alienazione totale di una Deneuve spaventosamente bella, con immagini,inquadrature,scene e musiche che contribuiscono ad aumentare un senso di smarrimento e di incombente psicosi.Una casa che sembra espandersi ogni minuto che passa,in cui tutto và in decomposizione,come la mente della sua abitante. Zoommata finale da brividi puri. Un fantastico Polanski.

CAPOLAVORO. Sequenze magnifiche ed evocative fino al limite ( le apparizioni nello specchio, gli incubi delle violenze sessuali, le crepe sui muri e gli effetti sulla casa che appare sempre più grande e vuota) e una Deneuve completamente folle e bella da far paura. Il finale con la foto che preannuncia la follia della protagonista è da incorniciare. Non ai livelli di perfezione di Rosemary's Baby, ma siam lì.

wow this is really great I just love seeing Roman Polanski torturing women oh wait I don't this is actually awful! (yeah I get the "value" of the cinematography and mise-en-scène, the conversion hysteria, the possible comments on gender, sexuality, and mental health. But to me this still just boils down to a rapist torturing a woman, and finding beauty, entertainment, and indeed, titillation, in that torture)

Exemplary of Polanski's bold visual style which is similar to Hitchcock's, albeit sloppier. The film doesn't have much of a plot to boot, which isn't helped by the slight camp. The narrative can be summed up as "bitch is fazed by men, then goes crazy". Nevertheless, I did find it enjoyable for its Hitchcockian elements. It's a flawed masterpiece.

When you think about it, it's just the story of a lesbian being afraid of men.

A solid psychological thriller, one that mixes story and substance in a very effective way!

Crazy never looked so good. Love Chico Hamilton's jazzy and suspenseful score.

Perfectly captures the downward spiral of its disturbed protagonist. An excellent--if unsettling--tale I'm definitely going to revisit.

carol's descent into total madness leaves a bitter taste in your mouth and some scars in your soul. such level of commitment with a movie character is something we'll probably never see in a movie again. not enough polanskis out there.

Roman Polanski's first English-language film deals with a woman's loneliness leading to madness, and yet this is less entertaining to watch. Too much talking and needs some more suspense, this is Polanski at his worst but Catherine Deneuve shines a lot. (Of course, the ending is quite spooky.) Isn't there a better classic thriller than REPULSION?
