Catherine Deneuve is sensational as a young manicurist living in 1965 London, who progressively sinks into madness when she stays alone in her sister’s apartment and some ill-fortuned suitors come to call.

Filled with indelible images and punishing sound design, Repulsion casts a shadow over everything from Eraserhead to Black Swan , but there’s nothing quite like the real thing.

When Luchini’s hospitalised, it’s Deneuve who takes over running the factory, with the help of her daughter and closet-gay son, forging an alliance with Communist mayor (and ex-lover) Gérard Depardieu.

This is feminism-lite and director François Ozon plays it for laughs, revelling in his pastel vision of the ’70s.

Good fun, though, and the spectacle of Deneuve and the now-mountainous Depardieu disco-dancing shouldn’t be missed.
