Luis Buñuel

Séverine Serizy Paris'te yaşayan ve görünürde mutlu bir evliliği olan her şeye sahip güzel bir kadındır. Séverine doktor olan kocası Pierre'e karşı soğuktur, hatta aralarında fiziksel bir ilişki olmadığı da sezilmektedir. Ancak bu "soğuk sarışın"ın ruhunda fırtınalar kopmaktadır. Günün birinde kendisinde gözü de olan aile dostları Henri Husson'dan özel bir randevu evinin adresini alır ve öğleden sonraları bu lüks genelevde çalışmaya başlar. Buradaki yeni adı "Gündüz Güzeli"dir artık. Şehvet düşkünü Séverine, randevu evine gittikçe kocasına daha çok bağlanır, aynı zamanda buradaki tiksindirici hayatını da garip bir şekilde kabullenir, zira burada mazoşist cinsel fantezilerini keşfedip yaşamaktadır.

Toplumun kurallarıyla boğuşan, cinsellik ve özgürlüklerinin karmaşasına düşen karakterlerle dolu, birbirine muğlak derecelerde bağlı olan bölümlerden oluşan bir Bunuel filmi. Filmde, bir yemek masası çevresinde klozetlere oturmuş insanların kimsenin görmediği yerlere çekilip yemek yemek için özürlerle sofradan kalkmaları gibi sahneler mevcut. Komik ve çılgın öğelerin bulunduğu filmde, Luis Bunuel sürrealistliğini doyasıya ortaya çıkarmıştır. Onlarca başyapıt çıkarmış bir yönetmenin en sıradışı çalışmalarından biri * bunuel: ironi ve absürtlük... toplumu yerden yere vurarak eleştiren, bitirmediği, yarım bıraktığı hikayeler ile insanı meraktan çıldırtan bir film * İnsanların özgürlüğü aradıkları ama onun anlamını bilmedikleri ve daha çok ondan korkmaları... Sahnelerde hep ters ilişki var, burada asıl özgürlük bir hayalet gibi (komünist manifestonun giriş bölümünde böyle bir hayalet benzetmesi yapılmakta) küçük burjuva ve konfor arayışındaki insanların arasında sadece geziniyor.
