Génial !

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2008)

I haven't seen the reflection in the glass behind Gittes when he signs contract with Mrs. Mullwray, therefore I'm still deeply marked with that movie. It is amazing, very fine and funny, &, like most Polanski's movies, overwhelming. It is a matter of balance: humor and mockery, say, often catch up with seriousness, even tragedy. That is what I love about his work. I loved the settings and costumes too. The whole plot reminded me of Tennessee Williams' literature and also Fitzgerald's, probably because of the sleazy atmosphere the two of them install (incestuous dad, family secrets, business corruption, etc). Really intense.
