Review of Tess (1979) by Alec B — 10 Jun 2014
This could easily have become a repetitive series of depressing events (which it almost does), but Polanski finds interesting themes among the misery and visual beauty in almost every scene (I think this film is tied with "Days of Heaven" for best use of the Golden Hour).
Nastassja Kinski's performance has just the right blend of naivety and mystery for this role.
