Roman Polanski (Repulsion) orchestrates a mental ménage à trois in this slyly absurd tale of paranoia from the director's golden 1960s period. Donald Pleasence (Halloween) and Françoise Dorléac (The Soft Skin) star as a withdrawn couple whose isolated house is invaded by a rude, burly American gangster on the run, played by Lionel Stander (Unfaithfully Yours). The three engage in role-playing games of sexual and emotional humiliation. Cul-de-Sac is an evocative, claustrophobic, and morbidly funny tale of the modern world in chaos.
