Movie Reviews of The Tenant
Movie Review: An amazing suspenseful thriller that keeps you on edge.
Summary: 5 Stars
"She didn't even recongnize me", said her friend Stella. This story made me want to see it the second I saw the story. Simone Chuele is the tenant of a small apartment in an old building on a quiet street in Paris. One day she jumped out the window and was put into acoma for a couple of days. A quiet man named Trelkovski comes to the building and settles himself down in the vacant apartment that Simone left. Trelkovski later forms a good realationship with one of Simones friends, Stella. He slowly becomes frustrated with his neighbors accusing him of causing noise when he didn't and insane because of the ghostly figures in the bathroom window. If you pay attention to all of the happenings, you will know exactly why all of these things happened. Just the perfect ammount of horror here. Especially Simone screaming in the hospital bed. See it A.S.A.P.Movie Review: Creepiest Movie Ever Made?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have heard The Tenant dubbed as exactly that, and there is not much to argue. Right from the moment when Polanski visits the women in the hospital and she lets out that BLOOD CURDLING scream, you know you are in for a good one. Guranteed the hair on the back of neck will stand up. If you enjoyed any of Polanski's other films you will surely appreciate this one. Or even if you havn't seen his previous works, why not start here? Recommended to any horror movie fan as well. This is the most unsettling movie I have ever seen.
**HELPFUL NOTE!** If you buy or rent the DVD version I would recommend watching it in French with English subtitles first. If not you will quickly find out it was dubbed over with English speech, so is very hard to understand the dialogue and the actors voices don't really match up.
Enjoy!
Movie Review: I think I'm pregnant!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Tenant is without doubt, Polanski's best film ever...in my opinion! I love the slow burning paranoia and depth of madness that the main character spirals into.
Was this madness already in him or was he driven to madness by those nieghbours!
I think it is the poetry of madness.
Roman Polanski does brilliant acting, I actually think he was born for the part.
When he transforms completly into Simone you believe it totally. That classic line that he/she says as she looks into the mirror, "I think I am pregnant!" is so funny and so sad that it stays in your mind forever. Yes Roman Polanski is pregnant, with the madness of the manson murder of his pregnant wife years earlier. I feel that the Tenant is his alienation working its way onto screen and poked into our own minds eye.
Movie Review: Neighborly Horror...
Summary: 5 Stars
An apartment is available for rent after that the previous renter has thrown herself out through the apartments window. The modest Trelkovsky (Roman Polanski) decides that he wants to rent it, since it is hard to find apartments in Paris. After a house-warming party he is warned by the owner that he cannot hold such a racket late at night, and this is the beginning of the neighborly stalking of Trelkovsky as he moves within his own apartment. As the plot thickens, the motive behind suicide of the former tenant seems to reveal itself to Trelkovsky and it warns him to proceed with caution. Everyone who once lived wall-to-wall with a neighbor can relate to The Tenant as it produces an unsettling cinematic experience that will give grounds for thoughts to question the character of your neighbors.Movie Review: Polanski's personal history
Summary: 5 Stars
For the person claiming that we should judge the work of an artist by his personal failings, especially those that are imposed by the culture of the moment, I would ask that you at least libel with authority. Yes, Polanski had sex with an underage girl, however the underage girl and the mother have always maintained that the sex was consensual and therefore Polanski while being a pedophile(not pedephile) is not a rapist. That being said, this is one of the greatest films to ever be produced. I saw it only once in 1978 and I am still telling people that they need to see it.
