Repulsion ("Repulsa ao sexo", na tradução brasileira) é um daqueles filmes atemporais, sem comparativos, sem paralelos. Único. Um filme que com certeza rompeu muitas barreiras quando foi lançado e até hoje influencia muita gente, de Aronofsky a Cronenberg. A estética, a linguagem, o tema, tudo muito bem pensado e amarrado com uma trilha sonora matadora (sem brincadeiras com o filme). Um dos melhores filmes de Polansky, se não o melhor.

More than a woman losing her mind, a woman losing the ability to control the inner demons she kept suppressing her whole life. The slow pacing can be a little demanding at times, but it mirrors Carol's apathy and helplessness perfectly. Most of this film's charm comes from Carol's decadent beauty (even though her hair looks too good for someone who hasn't taken a bath for days) and the various ways her apartment morphs as she descends into paranoia. Jumpscare alert! The editing is a little stiff, but usual for the time.

what if the thing you feared most was consumed by the idea of possessing you?
