After CHINATOWN, another movie of polish director Roman Polanski has just hit the DVD market. The 1968 ROSEMARY'S BABY belongs to the most creative period of the director and stays more than 30 years after its theatrical release as one of the best horror movies ever presented.From the initial credits haunted by the eerie musical score of Christopher Komeda to the superb travellings through the New-York building sheltering a nest of witches, from the performances of Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes to the decision to choose half forgotten Hollywood actors to play the second roles, everything is perfect in ROSEMARY'S BABY.The first of the bonus features of this DVD is a recent interview with Polanski and some of the people who have worked on the movie. The second bonus feature, far more interesting, is a featurette shot in 1968 which presents interviews of Mia Farrow and Roman Polanski, the director and the actors at work and a commentary of Mia Farrow (featurette only!) who was at that time experiencing a virulent peace and love syndrome. In short, she was adoring everybody. A great moment.However, I was disappointed by the quality of the images of the DVD. No white or black spots but sad colours appearing even in the night scenes. Too bad.A DVD for your library.
