Episode 561: Belle de Jour (1967)

We’re wrapping up “Frenchuary” with a look at Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour. Based on the 1928 novel by Joseph Kessel, the film was released in 1967 and stars Catherine Deneuve as our titular belle. That’s the name she’s given when the normally straight-laced Severine secretly lives out her submissive fantasies at a Paris brothel.... Or does she?

Samm Deighan joins Mike to discuss the dream-like film as well as the "sequel" and several other adaptions of Kessel's story.
