next to yoko, this was the craziest person ever living in the dakota
roman polanski firmly established himself among american audiences when he took ira levins fine potboiler into a different stratum. of course the movie has taken on an eerily prescient nature what with the events of polanskis life shortly afterwards (and id love to see it with its bookmark, the 1971 "macbeth" -- sadly not on dvd). but this was the best (maybe the ONLY good) performance mia farrow ever gave, and theres a ton of great supporting work, most notably by ruth gordon who turned this oscar winning role into a late career surge. thankfully censorious rules restrained what a few years later might well have given way to excesses. this movie captures 1968 new york city in a manner few others do.
