Movie Night: Chinatown (1974)
Set in seedy Southern California in the 1930’s Chinatown reverberates with the subtle eroticism of the love affair between Jack Nicholson as the small-time shamus and Faye Dunaway as his big-time client. As with the film noir detective movies it styles itself after, the mood in Chinatown is pervasive, ominous and shadowy. First-class entertainment.
Director: Roman Polanski, Writer: Robert Towne, Cast: Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston, Burt Young“Chinatown hits 50 this year and this Jack Nicholson film noir has lost none of its potency. Featuring the legendary John Huston alongside Faye Dunaway, this Oscar winning story from Robert Towne is still essential viewing.”
