Cul-De-Sac (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

Roman Polanski (REPULSION) orchestrates a mental menage a trois in this slyly absurd tale of paranoia from the directors golden 1960s period. Donald Pleasance (HALLOWEEN) and Frangoise Dorliac (THE SOFT SKIN) star as a withdrawn couple whose isolated house is infiltrated by a rude, burly American gangster on the run, played by Lionel Stander (UNFAITHFULLY YOURS). The three engage in a game of shifting identities and sexual and emotional humiliations. CUL-DE-SAC is an evocative, claustrophobic, and morbidly funny tale of the modern world in chaos.
