The prize of fame!
After having filmed two extremely challenging movies as Knife in the water and Repulsion, Rosemary's baby was the right movie for the right director by then.Roman Polanski directed with firm hand, this demanding film about the practice of witchcraft in New York City, where a very young and happily wife, is wishful for the success of his husband as a promising actor.But on the roads, he will not hesitate to emulate the fatidic traces of Faust and will deal his success for a very committing pact with Satan.But the film goes far beyond the horrid anecdote, it explores with sarcastic gaze, the fugacious and trivial atmosphere of the mid-class in those times of febrile agitation. And of course, it was the seminal seed for "The exorcist" years later.A dark, somber and intense film that - despite the elapsed years - still holds its shocking dramatic structure.
