Belle De Jour
The story of an innocent yet curious middleclass Parisian woman who, dissatisfied with the affectionate effeminacy of her husband, decides to become a prostitute during the hours he works. Her pre-established life of mediocrity catches up with her as she gets more and more familiar with it's inner workings. The film was rather good, I think the fact that I was watching it in subtitles rendered the dialogue abit robotic because of the lack of proper translation but the character development was extraordinary; the story was carried along by the fact that you yourself were taking this journey into the underworld of prostitution.
