StudioCanal have sent us the official UK theatrical trailer for the new 4K restoration of Luis Buñuel's classic film Belle de Jour (1967), starring Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli, Geneviève Page, and Pierre Clémenti. The restoration will open in select theaters later this summer.
Later this year, StudioCanal will also release the restoration on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom and France.
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, StudioCanal released the classic film on Blu-ray via the StudioCanal Collection. You can see our listing and review of the first release here.
