Title: An Unquestionable Masterpiece
Review: Polanski's CHINATOWN easily makes my Top 5. A complex, mysterious, and brooding movie, it is impeccably flimed in-period and is really the penultimate of film noir. Each character is an odd mixture of ambiguous qualities: reprehensible, charismatic, trite, mysterious, empathic, craven. John Huston plays what is easily one of the most compelling and evil roles ever put on film. Faye Dunaway is magnetic as both the remote ice queen of wealth and the vulnerable beauty whom Nicholson's PI is understandably drawn to. An absolutely marvelous film, it will leave you feeling emotionally wrought by its end.
