Plot
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Severine and Henri are reunited decades after their earlier encounter in Luis Buñuel's 1967 film, Belle de Jour. Severine is reluctant to see Henri again, yet he is adamant about seeing her again. She resents that by seeing her former blackmailer she has to confront her past of adultery and prostitution. Nevertheless she is curious to know whether Henri revealed her secret life to her paralysed doctor husband as he was dying.[3]
Reception
The film was generally well-received, it holds a 65% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[4]
Philip French writing in The Observer described the film as "caviar to the general, but an elegant treat for cinephiles."[3] Time Out said that the film offers "a deceptive, philosophical and cautionary meditation, not only on age, appetite, pleasure, betrayal, mendacity, revenge and disillusionment but also in idle curiosity."[5]
