Catherine Deneuve plays a young housewife who revels in masochistic daydream fantasies. To satisfy her desires, she secretly begins to work at a high class brothel... As the fallout from the protagonist's other life starts to bleed into what had seemed the safety of her domesticated existence, the line between fantasy and reality grows blurred. Bunuel's movie explores themes of repression and examines the nature of female desire.Introduced by Mark DotyFree with a $7 bar minimumMark Doty is an American poet whose Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems won the National Book Award for Poetry in 2008.
