I remember the first time I ever saw Belle de Jour, I was in 5th grade and had spent the entire day watching IFC, I think they played this and then Baise-moi or Intimacy, that was my introduction to the New French Extremity, I don’t think that started my interest in sex on film but without a doubt it furthered it, Catherine Deneuve is just such a flawless beauty and to show her fantasizing about sadomasochistic routines, god my mind was just blown by that.
