Although maybe not an expert on writing about films I must say I love Roman Polanskis Chinatown. It contains all the gritty elements which makes a Film Noir, or should I say Neo - Noir? Its gritty blackness of mysterious shadow to the colour filled fruit groves. The Femme Fatal character played by Faye Dunnaway is completely self destructible. She holds the film so well, and I will always praise her for the fantastic performance in this film. Of course another favourite is John Huston, who almost from the respect of Film Noir lover steals the show, in his almost cameo appearance. Many may not know him, but know of his films -beginning the wonderful cycle of Film Noirs in the Nineteen Forties with The Maltese Falcon. In Chinatown he plays a miserable old sod, and plays it so very well. So if you enjoy a good film, with more twists and turns than any rollercoaster this is the one to watch. < less
