Belle toujours
Continuing the fictional drama of the 1967 film, Belle de jour, directed
by Buñuel and co-written by him and Jean-Claude Carrière, the same characters are found meeting 38 years later and still repudiating
one another as before, in body and soul. (Manoel de Oliveira) The often surrealistic tone of Belle de jour does not seem at
all mitigated by time, but even more absurd. In the end, at dinner, the film goes much further than its predecessor, and a
melancholy story emerges about the value of memories and how time changes everything. (Gerwin Tamsma)
