Belle de jour (1967)
by Luis Buñuel
Belle de jour (1967) is the result of the iconic collaboration between director Luis Buñuel, actress Catherine Deneuve, and fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.
In the surrealist cinema of Luis Buñuel, desire is always an enigma, and in Belle de Jour this mystery unfolds precisely through clothing. The film is not only a story of repressed fantasies but also a critique of bourgeois hypocrisy. Within this framework, fashion once again becomes a narrative device, and Yves Saint Laurent, who designed the costumes for the protagonist, acts as its silent architect.
