In London, Belgian immigrant Carol Ledoux shares an apartment with her older sister Helen, and works as a manicurist at a beauty salon. Helen uses the word "sensitive" to describe Carol's overall demeanor, which is almost like she walks around in a daze, rarely speaking up about anything. When she does speak up, it generally is about something against one of those few issues on which she obsesses, such as Helen's boyfriend Michael's invasion of her space at the apartment. Tha...

Full Plot Details

In London, Belgian immigrant Carol Ledoux shares an apartment with her older sister Helen, and works as a manicurist at a beauty salon. Helen uses the word "sensitive" to describe Carol's overall demeanor, which is almost like she walks around in a daze, rarely speaking up about anything. When she does speak up, it generally is about something against one of those few issues on which she obsesses, such as Helen's boyfriend Michael's invasion of her space at the apartment. That specific issue may be more about men in general than just Michael's actions, as witnessed by Carol being agitated by hearing Helen and Michael's lovemaking, and she not being able to rebuff the advances effectively of a male suitor, Colin, who is infatuated with her. One of those other obsessive issues is noticing cracks and always wanting to fix them. While Helen and Michael leave on a vacation to Pisa, Italy, Carol chooses largely to lock herself in the apartment, ditching work. There, she is almost hypnotized by her solitude, which leads to her mental state deteriorating as those obsessions come to the fore. She quickly descends into madness, which ultimately also affects those that are trying to get in touch with her.

Movie Reviews

Projection Booth - 10/10 by Rob HumanickYou may feel the urge to laugh out of sheer need to break the tension, and Polanski knows it.
Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawThere can't be many other films which so plausibly show an entire, warped world created from a single point of view.
CinePassion - 10/10 by Fernando F. CroceA peerless Freudian nightmare, frequently revisited but seldom matched in its desire and terror, its visual-aural flow, and its queasy voyeuristic pleasure in seeing a frosty princess picking at her own skin
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Rob VauxIts ability to conjure monsters from its heroine's id remains unparalleled.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher Nullits ability to conjure monsters from its heroine's id remains unparalleled
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffDeneuve, without much dialog, handles a very difficult chore with insight and tact.
Sydney Morning Herald - 10/10 by Iain MckayA potent cocktail of sexual repression, madness and violence, this chiller is one of Roman Polanski's best.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Michael AtkinsonThe movie's shake-and-bake mix of "reality" and crumbling subjectivity is too deliberate to be about character--it is, rather, a game of movieness, a masquerade of Grand Guignol–as-psyche, virtually a parody of the surrealist's notion of consciousness bagged and tagged on celluloid.
Edinburgh U Film Society - 10/10 by Keith H. BrownRepulsion is perhaps Polanski's and Deneuve's finest hours.
Radio Times - 10/10 by Tom HutchinsonRoman Polanski takes us on a deeply disturbing, hallucinatory trip into Catherine Deneuve's mental breakdown in this British psychological thriller,
