Repulsion

“The nightmare world of a virgin's dreams becomes the screen's shocking reality!”

London in 1965, and Carole (Catherine Deneuve) works as a manicurist, a quiet young woman who recoils from the men around her. When her sister Hélène (Yvonne Furneaux) leaves for an Italian holiday with her married boyfriend, Carole is alone in the flat they share. Roman Polanski stays close to her point of view as she shuts herself in, her fear of men turning slowly into madness.
