the tenant polanski review

Meanwhile, I moved out and didn’t check back in with the landlord for months.Once the lease was up, I walked into my landlord’s office, thinking I had pulled it off, my absence undetected. Was this review helpful? As with much of Polanski's work, there is a dose of black humour laced throughout. 133 out of 152 found this helpful. What then is the problem? 12 out of 18 found this helpful. It has to be the weird script which hints at story lines and never really explains any of the action, particularly the ending. It demands attention and may be boring for people who just want plain action or a quick succession of blood curdling horror scenes. - All films of lyrical darkness. 185 out of 218 found this helpful. Once I watched The Tenant and interpreted it as a horror movie. Therefore we are left with the increasingly unstable Trelkovsky (Polanski)--a meek Polish man who has obtained an apartment due to the previous tenant's suicide--to guide us through a world of escalating fear and uncertainty. Roman Polanski stays true to his style from Rosemary's Baby and Repulsion. Was this review helpful? Poe's tales of madness out of loneliness, Hoffmann's stories of tragic delirium (most prominently, The Sandman, Majorat, and The Mines of Falun), and, of course, Gogol's eerie The Overcoat provided Polanski with the inspiration for this modern examination of the same topics. - All films of lyrical darkness. Roman Polanski's "The Tenant" was the official French entry at Cannes last May, and in the riot to get into the press screening one man was thrown through a glass door and two more found themselves amid the potted palms. A key moment is when Douglas’ bullying landlord urges Trelkovsky he must make his neighbors “comfortable.” How is he, or anyone, supposed to do this?This is the final of three films that Polanski made at Paramount Pictures, following the blockbuster “Rosemary’s Baby” and the acclaimed “Chinatown.” While this is a far scrappier, looser and weirder movie than those two, it shows a filmmaker with a gift for getting under your skin.This extremely-faithful adaptation of the 1964 Roland Topor novel maintains a dark sense of humor but is every bit as disturbing as “Rosemary’s Baby”- that final closing image, and the way it cuts abruptly to the Paramount Pictures logo (there are no end credits) is a killer parting shot.“The Tenant” has been available in a bare-bones DVD, sporting only an alternate language option. Sometimes a film comes along that feels as if it were made specifically for me, and this Polanski masterpiece is among those films. Like most works of art, it's not for everybody, I know some people I admire who, hate, hate! There were large tracts within that were just plain boring, and though Polanski is definitely one of the greatest directors of all time - he can and has been guilty of downplaying scenes too much. Personally I could have done without the cross dressing element but I accept the nod to Psycho and the fact that it had some logic, bearing in mind the storyline. I think this movie is important even without that mystery. 37 out of 54 found this helpful. Normally a great fan of Roman Polanski's work, I must confess that I just didn't get The Tenant.

"The Tenant" is a first-class thriller wrought with equal amounts of suspense and full-blown paranoia. All those Oscar winners, Melvyn Douglas, Jo Van Fleet, Lila Kedrova and Shelley Winters for goodness sake - permeating the horrible attraction to the building - yes just like in Apartment Zero.
