Catherine Deneuve is one of the greatest stars in the history of cinema, an international legend whose exceptional film career is matched by her status as a French icon. Her performances in such films as Luis Bunuel's Belle De Jour, Roman Polanski's Repulsion, and Francois Truffaut's The Last Metro, all examined in this book, cemented her reputation as one of film's true immortals, and she continues to excel to this day with daring, challenging roles. In this book, Chris Wade explores Deneuve's rich body of work, beginning with her early bit parts, through the legendary 60s in such films as Jacques Demy's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, Bunuel's Tristana, horror cult classic The Hunger, the likes of Indochine and My Favourite Season, all the way up to her current era as the queen of French cinema, with such movies as The Truth, The Midwife, and The Brand New Testament.
