A Strange Ride In The Country

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: Stylish foreign film with a surprise ending
Review: Artistic Spanish Director Luis Bunuel's 1967 psychodrama Belle de Jour, begins and ends with a quaint carriage ride in the French countryside, as colorful autumnal leaves flurry about. From there, the scene shifts dramatically to a sadomasochistic...

Blurring the Line Between Erotic Fantasy and Reality

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for the interesting and erotic theme, brilliant performance by Deneuve, and wonderful ambiguities built in by Buñuel
Review: Luis Buñuel's marvelous film Belle de Jour (1967) is a psychodrama detailing the dual life of a woman of sophistication who is wife of a wealthy surgeon by night but a prostitute by day. Buñuel was a true film master whose penetrating...

"Belle de Jour"; beautiful day, beautiful film

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2000
Review: One of the many beauties of "Belle de Jour" is that it doesn't show us too much. The irony of it is that director Luis Bunuel was hardly one to hold anything back in his earlier films. His short 1929 surrealistic masterpiece "Un Chien Andalou" is...

A Classic of Cinema: Belle de Jour

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2000
The Bottom Line: .
Review: Perhaps the best thing about Luis Bunuel's 1967 classic Belle de Jour is that we never truly understand what is happening. The film can be interpreted any number of ways, and there is no way to tell which is right or wrong. Certain scenes, like the...

Bunuel's stain: Proof that even the most creative filmmaker in history can falter

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: A perfect example of what happens when an artist temporarily abandons his medium. Pitiful Bunuel. Watch any of his others, not this one.
Review: The master of surrealism, Don Luis Bunuel, proves here that in a filmography packed with masterpieces, there is bound to be a stain or two. Let me start by saying that Bunuel is my favorite director and his works really do make up the majority of my...

A Vital Part of 1960s Cinema

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: A top film in the 1960s genre that deals with vital period correct issues of the time.
Review: Belle De Jour is one of a kind. I open this review with that statement because I was blown away by how twisted and abnormal the plot of this film is. I watched this for the first time in 2006 as a 27-year-old male and it was a bit shocking to see...

A beautiful day

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 1999
Review: Belle de Jour (1967, R)

As Reviewed by James Brundage

It would be a curious subject for a paper that would tally and analyze the sex of the noun "critic" in each language. As we are supposed to be mostly objective persons, the noun...

Did she or didn't she?

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2000
Review: I had seen Belle Du Jour many years ago and remembered the eroticism and the setting of the house, but not much else. When I saw it once again a couple months ago, as part of my effort to immerse myself in French film, I had a renewed appreciation...

Beautiful indeed.

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2000
Review: One of the many masterpieces signed Luis Bunuel. This time however, the movie isn't as surreal as his others, but it has that odd feeling to it. Of course, no man wants to admit that a happily married woman would want to prostitute herself, but the...
