CHINATOWN (15) - MEMBERS' CHOICE
Chinatown (15) | Dir. Roman Polanski | 1974 | USA | IMDb 8.1 | 130 mins
A modern film noir mainly set in a sun-drenched Los Angeles of the 1930s. We follow Jack Nicholson as a private detective piecing together the truth about a complex web of corruption and deceit involving Faye Dunaway. It's themes of power, greed, and moral ambiguity resonate today. The film's single Oscar was for its script but its brilliant performances, directing, design and cinematography mean it's an American classic.
Trivia
After several takes that never looked quite right, Faye Dunaway got annoyed and told Jack Nicholson to actually slap her. He did and felt very guilty for it, despite it being Dunaway's decision. The shot made it into the movie.
