Not a light comedy

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 2000)

I saw this film in the States when it first came out. In a rush to get into the cinema (and having read no reviews), I misread the title as "Rosemary, Baby" & therefore imagined it to be a light comedy. No surprise to me, then, when the opening scenes had all the hallmarks of a typical American married couple light-hearted romance. Imagine my surprise, as they say, when the film started its descent into paranoia and worse. Truly remarkable - Polanski at his best.
