BELLE TOUJOURS

Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira was in his 90s when he made this homage to the surrealist Luis Bunuel film BELLE DE JOUR. Set 38 years after the original, Oliveira`s film also stars Michel Piccoli as Henri Husson--a man just as sadistic as he was back in the erotic classic where he sought after and manipulated Catherine Deneuve`s conflicted character, Severine.
