Repulsion

Repulsion. Roman Polanski, 1965.
😿
Edition screened: Criterion Blu-ray #483, released 2009. English language. Runtime approximately 105 minutes.

Summary: Repeated images of a skinned rabbit.

Details: Early in the film we are told that rabbit will be served for dinner. Scattered throughout the film we see repeated images of a skinned rabbit on a china platter, which is beloved kitchen gore in some homes, but still ‘repulsion’ material.

The accompanying documentary A British Horror Film (David Gregory, 2003) is better than most, and is animal cruelty-free.
