(English language)
A Belgian girl, Carol, works as a manicurist at a London beauty salon. While having lunch, a good looking young man, Colin, spots her and makes a date for another evening. She shares a flat with her sister Helen. Her sister’s married lover, Michael, brings out her dislike of men which she cannot explain to Colin. Michael takes Helen abroad for a holiday. Left alone in their flat, Carol’s moments of catalepsy and hallucination increase and deepen into madness.
With Repulsion, Roman Polanski arrived on the English-Language film scene with the force of a thunderbolt. Like his subsequent masterpieces, Rosemary’s Baby and Chinatown, this classic study of insanity and sexual repression shows the controversial Polish director’s unflinching obsession with shocking subject- matter and masterful use of disturbing imagery.
The film won the Silver Bear and the FIPRESCI Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1965.
