Summary: Three features including Rosemary's Baby', 'The Tenant' and 'Chinatown'. In 'Rosemary's Baby' Rosemary and her husband, Guy, move to a new apartment where they find themselves surrounded by odd, elderly neighbours. Rosemary falls pregnant after a disturbing dream and the neighbours start to pay her a lot of attention. 'The Tenant' is a horror comedy tale about a timid Polish file clerk who moves into a new apartment after the successful suicide of the previous tenant, only to find that paying the rent is the least of his troubles. 'Chinatown' finds Jake a private eye involved in a seemingly routine snoop job that mushrooms into a murderous regional and personal scandal. Jake uncovers a plot against his client's husband but this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Three of Polanksi's absolute finest. ROSEMARY'S BABY, CHINATOWN and THE TENANT. See individual titles for more detail.

Roman Polanski's adaptation of Macbethremains one of the most infamous for a number of reasons: the copious amounts of bloody gore, its expert use of location settings (filmed in North Wales), and Lady Macbeth's nude sleepwalking scene. Despite its notoriety, though, this does remain one of the more compelling film adaptations of the Scottish tragedy, if one of the more pessimistic takes on the story of Macbeth and his overreaching ambition. If you think the play is normally a bit of a downer, you haven't seen Polanski's bleak version of it, made in reaction to the murder of his wife, Sharon Tate, by the Manson "family". Jon Finch (Hitchcock's Frenzy) is a forceful Macbeth, bringing out the Scot's warrior instincts, and Francesca Annis is a memorable Lady Macbeth, but the main thrust of the film belongs to Polanski's and noted British playwright and critic Kenneth Tynan's take on the play: extremely violent, nihilistic, and visceral; this is down-in-th!e-dirt, no-holds-barred Shakespeare, not fussy costume drama. Pay close attention to the end, a silent coda that puts a chilling twist on all the action that has come beforehand and foreshadows more tragedy to come.--Mark Englehart, Amazon.com
