Show Notes
Sadly still applicable: We stand with SAG-AFTRA
Content warning: We do speak about the Polanski of it all. We have indicated with time stamps when that occurs. There is also incestual sexual assault referred to in this film so if you want to skip this one, we get it and we’ll see you next week.
This week we’re discussing a masterpiece of neo noir, 1974’s Chinatown. The lighting, the pacing, the costuming, the script, the deep fragility of Faye Dunaway, the disquiet emanating off John Huston, and the best(?) Jack Nicolson performance, we talk about it all.
Recommendations: A Haunting in Venice (In Theaters); A Discovery of Witches (AMC+)
Next up: Deliverance (1972)
