The only way to become a good wife was to stray away.
Daring for it's time, Belle De Jour was considered one of the greats from Luis Brunel, exploring sexuality, fantasy and lust. The story is uncomplicated enough -a bored and frigid housewife who dreams of of being dominated and abused by her husband seeks pleasure outside her marriage by becoming a prostitute during the day. I am aware this movie was a big deal on it's release but except for the mysterious dream sequences that appeared throughout I wasn't really impressed. Catherine Deneuve however is a typical Parisian chic who embodies all that was 1960's in France and her performance was certainly new to me.
