{{quote|''It is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best. That's because it understands eroticism from the inside-
'''''Belle de Jour''''' is one of the most famous films directed by Luis Bunuel. 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".

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]
* [[All Just a Dream]]: It's unclear what really happens and what just takes place in Séverine's overactive fantasy life.
