Repulsion
Directed by
Roman Polański

Catherine Deneuve,Ian Hendry,John Fraser
Release date
January 1965 (UK)
Running time 104 min
at whom is the young Carol staring?

The weird shadows and dark corners of Carol's house, Hands protrude from walls and everyday objects transforming into objects of horror,walls which are cracking up ,amplification of the sounds of everyday life--the ticking of a clock, the voices of nuns playing catch in the convent garden, the dripping of a faucet-all define One of the most impressive films of Polanski's "apartment trilogy".

the gifted filmmaker , Roman Polanski dresses his first English speaking film with pertinent details that further exemplify both Carol's madness and the aching passage of time.
The audiences share the mental deteriorating state of carol by Polanski's inventive use of black-and-white film, wide-angle lenses and close-ups which creates an unsparing vision of detachment of reality as if we are all drawn into her mind .
