Frigid, beautiful young housewife Séverine cannot reconcile her kinky, sadomasochistic imagination with her everyday life alongside dutiful husband Pierre. She starts an afternoon job in a local, high-class brothel under the name Belle de Jour while her husband is away at work.

Luis Buñuel’s magnificently kinky dark comedy about secret desire was his biggest popular success, and continues to shock, provoke, and delight audiences to this day. Catherine Deneuve is the film’s guiding light. Sly, opaque, gorgeous, and dressed top-to-toe in YSL, she is nothing short of iconic.
