冷血惊魂

从布鲁塞尔来到伦敦的卡萝尔（凯瑟琳·德纳芙 Catherine Deneuve 饰）是当地一家美容沙龙的员工。在这个光怪陆离的大都会，青春美丽的卡萝尔竭力压抑自己心中躁动的欲望，由此她表现出些许的焦虑和神经质。虽然有年轻帅气的小伙子柯林（John Fraser 饰）锲而不舍地追求，但卡萝尔更愿意和姐姐海伦（Yvonne Furneaux 饰）厮守在一起。相较于容易紧张的妹妹，海伦似乎颇为适应这个社会，她与一名有妇之夫相恋，两人相约利用假期去意大利旅行。然而，海伦的离开却让卡萝尔的精神接近崩溃边缘，无可挽回的悲剧由此上演…… 　　本片荣获1965年柏林国际电影节银熊奖评委会特别奖和国际影评人费比西奖。In London, Belgian immigrant Carol Ledoux shares an apartment with her older sister Helen, and works as a manicurist at a beauty salon. Helen uses the word "sensitive" to describe Carol's overall demeanor, which is almost like she walks around in a daze, rarely speaking up about anything. When she does speak up, it generally is about something against one of those few issues on which she obsesses, such as Helen's boyfriend Michael's invasion of her space at the apartment. That specific issue may be more about men in general than just Michael's actions, as witnessed by Carol being agitated by hearing Helen and Michael's lovemaking, and she not being able to rebuff the advances effectively of a male suitor, Colin, who is infatuated with her. One of those other obsessive issues is noticing cracks and always wanting to fix them. While Helen and Michael leave on a vacation to Pisa, Italy, Carol chooses largely to lock herself in the apartment, ditching work. There, she is almost hypnotized by her solitude, which leads to her mental state deteriorating as those obsessions come to the fore. She quickly descends into madness, which ultimately also affects those that are trying to get in touch with her.
