Chinatown (Polanski, 1974): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8.20pm
This is screening as part of the Polanski season at BFI Southbank on an extended run until 31 Jan. You can find the details here.
Chicago Reader review:
'A tribute to the detective thriller and all it represented
in terms of notions of heroism and possibilities for action—and an
elaboration of Roman Polanski's black thoughts on the absurdity of it
all. This stylish 1974 whodunit stars Jack Nicholson (never better) and
Faye Dunaway (likewise). A bit abstract, though gorgeously shot (by John
Alonzo) and cleverly plotted (by Robert Towne), Polanski's film
suggests that the rules of the game are written in some strange,
untranslatable language, and that everyone's an alien and, ultimately, a
victim.'
