StudioCanal will introduce a brand new 4K restoration of director Luis Buñuel's classic film Belle de Jour at this year's edition of Cannes Classics. A Blu-ray release of the film is expected to be announced later this year.
Synopsis: Undoubtedly Luis Buñuel's most accessible film, Belle de Jour is an elegant and erotic masterpiece that maintains as hypnotic a grip on modern audiences today as it did on its debut over 50 years ago.
Severine is a beautiful young woman married to a doctor. She loves her husband dearly, but cannot bring herself to be physically intimate with him. She indulges instead in vivid, kinky, erotic fantasies to entertain her sexual desires. Eventually she becomes a prostitute, working in a brothel in the afternoons while remaining chaste in her marriage. Stars the incomparable Catherine Deneuve in a career defining role as Severine, the eponymous heroine of the film.
*In 2009, the studio released the classic film on Blu-ray via the StudioCanal Collection. You can see our listing and review of the first release here.
