Repulsion marked Polanski's move from predominantly Absurdist influences to an aesthetic more closely related to Surrealism and psychoanalysis. Filmed in England in 1965, it was co-written by Roman Polanksi and long time collaborator Gerard Brach. The film deals with sexual repression, the thin line between victim and victimiser and the demanding nature of modern social conventions.

An outstanding performance by Catherine Deneuve, together with a spirited supporting cast and a snapshot of "Swinging London" in the mid 1960s, make this one of Polanski's masterpieces.
