Review: Disgust

Here is the English translation of the Polish film review:

“The Wretched” (1965) is a dramatic and psychological story about a young woman, Carol Ledoux, who gradually loses control over her life. Director Roman Polanski created a masterpiece that is still considered one of the best horror films of all time.

What is “The Wretched”?

The history of “The Wretched” revolves around Carol, a young Belgian working as a manicurist in London. After her sister and boyfriend leave, Carol starts experiencing hallucinations and losing her mental balance. The film doesn’t reveal much about Carol’s past, which only adds to the mystery and intrigue of the story.

Acting and direction

Catherine Deneuve delivers an outstanding and convincing performance as Carol, making it impossible for the viewer not to be drawn into her psychological and emotional struggles. Roman Polanski, as a director, shows a masterful approach to telling the story, creating an atmosphere of unease and horror that keeps the viewer on edge until the end.

The visual design of “The Wretched” is particularly noteworthy. The dark and unsettling interior settings combined with the ominous music create a sense of dread and unease. Every detail, from the shots to the special effects, has been carefully crafted to create an unforgettable film.
