Repulsion
Roman Polanski / GB, 1965
When Carol, a shy young Belgian, is left alone for a few days in the Kensington flat she shares with her sister, she begins to withdraw into a reclusive existence where innocuous everyday realities are distorted by deep-seated anxieties.
The film explores the repulsion Carol feels about human sexuality and the repulsion her suitors experience when they pursue her.12+
