Catherine Deneuve’s reserved bourgeois newlywed loves her handsome young husband, but doesn’t want to have sex with him. She’d rather fantasize about being whipped and dominated. Or maybe turn tricks with random strangers in the afternoon while he’s at work. It boggles the brain that Luis Bunüel made this film nearly 60 years ago given how much it still has to say about society, power, and female desire. -Lee Gardner
