Cul-de-sac: The Criterion Collection [Blu-ray] Reviews

After the disturbing, nerve-jangling effects of his brilliant psychological thriller Repulsion, Roman Polanski turned next to something just as psychologically rooted as that piece but definitely less tension-filled with his oddball outing Cul-de-sac. Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, the film is a dark comedy with psychological overtones that rather come and go in importance. Like some earlier works of his, the focus is on dominance and submission in human relationships, and one must be willing to tread through a constantly changing flow of tones in reaching its graphically tragic, melancholy conclusion.
