Review Chinatown (1974)

Another classic I've never seen.

This classic modern film noir is brilliantly scripted by Robert Towne and boasts superb performances all round. Director Roman Polanski (who has a small part as a hood who cuts Nicholson’s nose) handles proceedings with measured assurance in what is a complex masterpiece. Definitely worthy of repeated viewings.

A private detective hired to expose an adulterer finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, corruption, and murder.
