Review of Chinatown (1974) by Sujit O — 20 Jan 2016

Jan. 4th, 2016- This noir classic is arguably the most important picture that made Nicholson the star that he is and for good reason. Roman Polanski does an incredible job of capturing the corruption of LA through satire but is equally disturbing when necessary.

Probably the biggest aspect and something that's hard to see a lot nowadays is how all parts of production work together to bring a brilliant film. Polanski's work never stands out over Nicholson work which never stands above the great script by Robert Towne but when they all come together it becomes great filmmaking.

And so as a result it stands as one the best films of Hollywood. A must watch if you want to see some quality old timers.
