| Review |
A landmark movie in the film noir
tradition, Roman Polanski's Chinatown
stands as a true screen classic. Jack
Nicholson is private eye Jake Gittes,
living off the murky moral climate of
sunbaked, pre-war Southern California.
Hired by a beautiful socialite (Faye
Dunaway) to investigate her husband's
extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept
into a maelstrom of double dealings and
deadly deceits, uncovering a web of
personal and political scandals that
come crashing together for one,
unforgettable night in ... Chinatown.
Co-starring film legend John Huston and featuring an Academy Award-winning script by Robert Towne, Chinatown captures a lost era in a masterfully woven movie that remains a timeless gem.
