Episode 91: Belle De Jour + White Fire

To mark International Forbidden Desires Week (inaugural, and declared by us), Bryce drops in to discuss two films that feel worlds apart, even if they're both obsessed with love taboos. We check out Luis Buñuel's classically kinky Belle De Jour (1967), and Jean-Marie Pallardy's rather less celebrated Franco-Turksploitation riot, White Fire (1984). Sadomasochism and.. siblings. It's quite a heady mix. We don't think you can really spoil White Fire, which has a storyline although comprehending it is probably optional, but we will call out a Spoiler Territory of sorts for Belle De Jour. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:04:36 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?
