For my twelfth instalment in this series of posts I'm going to suggest a feature-length horror thriller, which was directed by Roman Polanski. Released in 1965, under the original title of "Repulsion", it was based on an original screenplay by Roman Polanski and Gérard Brach. This UK joint-production from Compton Films and Tekli British Productions (uncredited) [as Tekli-Film Productions Ltd.] tells the story of a Belgian immigrant to the UK, called Carol Ledoux (Catherine Deneuve), who shares an apartment (in London) with her older sister Helen (Yvonne Furneaux), and works as a manicurist at a beauty salon. Helen uses the word "sensitive" to describe Carol's overall demeanour ,which basically means she's a bit of a wallflower... who is also prone to walk around in an almost permanent daze and rarely offers an opinion on anything. When she does speak up, it is generally on something over which she obsesses, such as Helen's boyfriend Michael's invasion of her space at the apartment. She also seems unable to rebuff the advances of a male suitor, called Colin (John Fraser), who is clearly infatuated with her. Things go from bad to worse, for Carol, when her sister Helen leaves with boyfriend Michael (Ian Hendry) for a vacation in Italy. From that point on, Carol chooses (largely) to lock herself in the apartment, ditching work in the process. While living there alone, she appears almost as if hypnotised and suffers delusions, as well as horrific visions of rape and violence, while slowly sinking into depression...
