Catherine Deneuve looking through the camera on the set of REPULSION.
there are a metric ton of great photos from the set of Polanski’s REPULSION, but this one — which i’m just now seeing for the first time — has instantly vaulted up my list of favorites. it’s not the most striking image to emerge from the set (and it’s certainly unspectacular when compared to several sequences from the film, itself), but between the camera cranks, the florid dress, and the thick veins of crazed blonde hair… it’s alchemy, a cool break from creating madness.
