About this listen

Belle du Jour offers a provocative look at desire, identity, and repression in 1960s France. In this episode, we explore Luis Buñuel's elegant yet surreal portrayal of Séverine, a bourgeois housewife who leads a secret life as a daytime prostitute. We'll break down the film’s use of fantasy, its critique of societal norms, and its lasting impact on cinema as a masterpiece of erotic ambiguity.
