This film is enormously multi-layered and allusive, and quite an important film in cinema history; it needs a much larger article. -- Karada 12:09, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dreams or actual events of punishment?

When I saw the movie, I interpreted the whipping/rape in the forest, and the scene where the men fling mud on her, as "flash-forwards" - actual events that happen subsequent to the husband discovering his wife's infidelity. glasperlenspiel 19:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

My reading of the ending was that Severine retreated back into the fantasy world she had constructed before she started going to the brothel. After her husband is shot and Mr Husson comes to tell him about her activities, I was under the impression that she began to fantasise about her husband punishing her just as she had done at the beginning.

[edit] Capitalization

Shouldn't this be located at Belle de Jour, in accordance with capitalization conventions and MOS:CL? Waqcku 21:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

No, because French capitalization works different than English. In French, titles only have capital letter on the first one unless there is a proper name, e.g. Cyrano de Bergerac.--Nauki (talk) 00:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Goofs

What about goofs? When she is with the professor, she takes her bra off. Then she leaves the room without it, you can see it on the bed. Then, next scene, she's got it on.--Nauki (talk) 00:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
