137 ... Cul-de-sac (1966)...POLANSKI

CUL-DE-SAC

* * * 1966 - UK * * *

Director: Roman Polanski

Starring: Donald Pleasence, Françoise Dorléac, Lionel Stander, Jack MacGowran ........w/ Jacqueline Bisset

Classic Polanski Black Comedy Thriller.....Rated R

"Ageing, kinky Donald Pleasence is married to sexy young Francoise Dorleac. The couple's hermit like tranquility is shattered when wounded gangsters Jack MacGowan and Lionel Stander invade their home and hold them hostage. As Dorleac urges her tremulous husband to do something, the two criminals begin behaving in a fashion that can only inadequately be described as eccentric. Drawing upon two of Polanski's favorite themes-isolation and latent insanity....One of the finest films of Roman Polanski.....Françoise Dorléac was a famous stage actress in Paris,and she was Catherine Deneuve's older sister.... died very young at the age of 25.......Cul de sac is a MUST SEE film.......The music composed by Krystoff Komeda is also remarkable, the only collaborator who the director 'took with him' from Poland and a constant composer in Polanski entire filmography till Komeda's premature death in 1968.In Cul de sac we can see too, a cameo of Jacqueline Bisset (then an unknown actress).......ENGLISH VERSION."
