A delicacy, a passionate and compassionate study of erotica.

Top Critic It is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best.

Top Critic Of all the supposedly challenging attractions playing locally in our supposedly more enlightened era, the most compellingly erotic and entertaining spectacle is still provided by Belle de Jour

Top Critic This silly little masterpiece regards Deneuve as the goddess of light she really was -- a figment of our collective appetite for the unreal.

A surprisingly discreet film considering the erotic nature of the subject matter.

A radical work that both looks back at the director’s own early surrealist cinema and anticipates the work of David Lynch.

The use of dreams fused with reality works because the two things balance one another to create a whole, instead of detracting as a cop-out as most movies with this motif rely on.

Every detail has been so carefully thought out that seeing it again is like seeing it in another key.

Top Critic One of master director Luis Buñuel's most wry and elegant films.

But beyond the artistry, this film stands as the most accessible of Buñuel's work.
