Supporting Deneuve are; Ian Hendry, John Fraser, Patrick Wymark and Yvonne Furneaux. This was Polanski's first English language feature and was filmed in London. Deneuve plays Carol, a young woman working as a manicurist in London and sharing a flat with her sister, Helene. Carol is sexually repressed and schizophrenic and when Helene leaves Carol alone in the apartment for a few days, when she levaes with her boyfriend, Carol's world begins to close in on her as she has dreams and hallucinations of murder and rape. She barricades herself in the apartment and spirals downward into a horrifying world of madness. This is probably my favorite Polanski film, along with, The Fearless Vampire Killers and Macbeth. I highly recommend this film, if you haven't seen it, amazing how terrifying this film can be in basically a very small setting.
