Chinatown
M
Roman Polanski,
130 mins,
USA,
1974.
The blinding sunlight that permeates Chinatown's mise-en-scène belies the darkness and corruption underpinning 1930s Los Angeles.
Presented from the point of view of the Chandleresque detective Jake Gittes, Chinatown depicts the morally ambiguous world of film noir. This lecture focuses on Polanski's exploration of the genre through the iconic figure of the private detective.
