| AT A GLANCE |
Catherine Deneuve was made her movie first appearance in the year
of 1957, when she was a teenager, and continued with small parts in minor films, until Roger Vadim gave her a meatier part in
"Vice et la vertu, La". But her breakthrough came with the excellent musical
Paraplegias de Cherbourg, Les, in which she gave an memorable performance. She also
in "Tristana", and gave a great perormance for "Truffaut' in Sirene du Mississipi, La, a kind of apotheosis of her "frigid femme fatale" persona.
Catherine plays Carol, a Belgian manicurist who works in London and lives in an apartment with her sister Helen. She becomes
more and more unhinged, apparently due to her feelings about sex, which at the
same time repulses and attracts her, and about which she is constantly reminded by the presence of Helen's lover.
Carol is left to fend for herself and becomes the injured party of
frightening, destructive hallucinations.
