Chinatown is one of the most excellent films to come from Roman Polanski. The screenplay builds a fine sense of unease and tension, keeping you thinking from start to finish. The characters are well-developed and especially well-acted. The storytelling is flawless, a perfect balance of mystery and romance. Filmed in Technicolor and with welcome appearances from John Huston and director Roman Polanski, it remains on the same level of Hollywood filmmaking as Casablanca and The Godfather. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway are excellent in Oscar-nominated performances, but it is Robert Towne's screenplay that really makes strides.

Chinatown, the 1974 classic, grows in power and refuses to fade from mind. I recall seeing it in its first release, walking out of the theatre feeling clubbed into fascination and endless admiration. How does a movie like this get made at all, let alone with such care and intellectual complexity? In an era of thrilling film after thrilling film, would Chinatown soon be overtaken by the next New Wave filmmaker? Coppola, Scorsese, DePalma, Bogdanovich and on and on? Who/what could challenge the Towne/Polanski/Evans trifecta? All these years later, coming on to 50, the answer is none of the above. Which isn't to say that each of the New Hollywood boys isn't assured a front row seat in the period's filmography - but Chinatown lasts and gnaws more deeply as time passes. This is a film that drew the best of the very best, together, collaborating in an profession that rarely allowed passion to subvert the bottom line. And it sold tickets, too, the postscript to an era already struggling against the corporate greed and banality that would extinguish the fire of imagination.

Perfect music, perfect screenplay, perfect atmosphere and tone, fantastic cast; it's hard to call this film anything besides perfect.

Among the greatest, if not the greatest, film ever made! Polanski proved with this one that he was nothing less than one of the best directors of his time!

It was Roman Polanski's genius, however, that made the film not merely an intelligent and intricate narrative but a great, disturbing vision.
