Luis Bunuel’s “Belle de Jour”‘ (1967), the story of a respectable young wife who secretly works in a brothel one or two afternoons a week, is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best. That’s because it understands eroticism from the inside-out — understands how it exists not in sweat and skin, but in the imagination.
