'''''Belle de Jour''''' is one of the most famous films directed by [[Luis Buñuel]]. Released in 1967, it starred then-débutante [[Catherine Deneuve]].
Séverine (Deneuve) looks outwardly like the perfect [[Housewife]]. Beautiful, demure, well-mannered and impeccably groomed, she is the very image of bourgeois propriety. In fact she is a masochist who likes to fantasize about being humiliated and treated like a sex object. On the recommendation of a friend, she acts out on these fantasies by becoming a part-time prostitute in an upscale brothel. Since she only turns tricks during her husband's business hours, she is given the moniker Belle de Jour, "daytime beauty".
