Chinatown draws on a wealth of film noir influences in its visual and stylistic flourishes to create the neo-noir, but it does so, perhaps most obviously, in its sparse jazz score composed by Jerry Goldsmith, who brings the film noir into the 20th century with modern instrumental updates and unsettling, experimental sections.

A masterpiece on all accounts.
