Review of Chinatown (1974) by Ryan N — 18 Oct 2012
It's strange seeing Roman Polanski's 'Chinatown' so soon after 'Citizen Kane', because now I'm giving out two perfect scores in a row. Truth be told, I enjoyed Polanski's work much more.
The screenplay is obviously amazing and I loved the cinematography, the film is full of such brilliant scope. It is layered and compiled in such a fashion that it keeps every viewer intrigued and guessing.
The great performances from the two leads don't hurt its value either. This is classic neo-noir cinema and it still retains every bit of its brilliance.
