World Cinema: Repulsion

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

World Cinema begins its autumn season with the first of three films by the famous Polish director Roman Polanski
Starring Catherine Deneuve, Yvonne Furneaux, John Fraser, Jan Hendry, Patrick Wymark

Polanski's first British film is a chilling study of progressive madness - a companion-piece to Hitchcock's Pyscho.
Left alone in a London flat, a young girl's mind degenerates into madness and obsessive fantasies-but suddenly, stunningly, they become violent reality.
