Criterion has announced DVD and Blu-ray releases of Repulsion which stars Catherine Deneuve. DVD Active reports that the Roman Polanski directed film will be available to own from the 28th July, with each release setting you back around $39.95. Extras will include commentary by director Roman Polanski and actress Catherine Deneuve, a 2003 documentary on the making of the film ("A British Horror Film"), a 1964 television documentary filmed on the set of Repulsion featuring rare footage of Polanski and Deneuve at work, the theatrical trailer, and a booklet featuring an essay by film scholar and curator Bill Horrigan.
A Belgian girl, Carol, works as a manicurist at a London beauty salon. While having lunch, a good looking young man, Colin, spots her and makes a date for another evening. She shares a flat with her sister Helen. Her sister's married lover, Michael, brings out her dislike of men which she cannot explain to Colin. Michael takes Helen abroad for a holiday. Left alone in their flat, Carol's moments of catalepsy and hallucination increase and deepen into madness.
Nice, the one available now is an awful transfer, very grainy and full frame. Criterion will give this an excellent treatment.
