Cul-de-sac (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Polanski, Roman
  • 1966, Roman Polanski, UK
  • 2 Comments

Polanski’s Golden Berlin Bear winner traverses the territory of absurdist cinema in what is a sporadically engaging but sharp commentary on power plays associated with psychological sadism and the gender and classist pressures to conform.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Officer and a Spy, An (2019)

  • Polanski, Roman
  • 2019, France, Roman Polanski
  • 1 Comment

Polanski doesn’t seem interested to push his film past the second gear, but it is a stately and handsome work about the Dreyfus Affair.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Venus in Fur (2013)

  • Polanski, Roman
  • 2013, France, Roman Polanski
  • Leave a comment

A mundane affair with two actors, or a strong exercise in building sexual tension?  Maybe both.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

One of Polanski’s finest post-2000s efforts – this is a first-rate old-school mystery-thriller that sees the master filmmaker at the top of his game.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of Polanski’s finest films, and a great WWII Holocaust drama about human resilience, and the beauty and power of music to overcome sheer adversity.

Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

  • Criterion Collection, Polanski, Roman
  • 1968, Roman Polanski, USA
  • 2 Comments

More psychological drama than pure horror, Polanski’s classic will haunt viewers willing to be immersed in its reality.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Repulsion (1965)

  • Criterion Collection, Polanski, Roman
  • 1965, Roman Polanski, UK
  • 7 Comments

A Polanski masterclass in psychosexual filmmaking, still effectively chilling and disturbing today as it was—surely a shocker!—back in the mid-‘60s.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
