Notable for featuring the first orgasm ever heard
in British cinema, this Roman Polanski film
takes a deeply disturbing journey into hallucinatory madness.
Carol (Catherine Deneuve), a young Belgian woman, lives in London
with her older sister, Helen. Carol is a bit 'tapped in the napper',
with a revulsion to men and sex. Helen, meanwhile, is carrying on
with a married man, Michael.
Helen and Michael go off on holiday, leaving Carol alone in the
flat. It doesn't take long for her to crack up completely.
