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.

The most memorable sign-off ever, right? Wrong.

Roman Polanski’s peerless gumshoe mystery actually ends with a testy cop ordering rubberneckers to “get off the street”.

Fortunately that’s one of the few unremarkable lines in Robert Towne’s script, a magnificent dissection of corruption boasting career-best turns from Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway and John Huston.

A hurrah too for the ensemble, the likes of Burt Young and weak link in this 1974 masterpiece.

Unforgettable.
