polanski is wildly overrated because of the murder and place among jewish child molesters
His best movie is 9th Gate, and even that is seriously flawed

Just watch Tanz Der Vampire instead. Top tier musical based on a shit tier film.

My parents enjoy this flick. I watched it once with them as a little kid and I remembered it being kinda cool. On the strength of this, I recommended it to my college bros a decade later, and we all watched it together.

It was much duller than I had remembered. No, it wasn't the peer pressure-I've watched movies that I know to be good, with people who failed to appreciate them. I had simply matured, and now saw the film for the C- material that it is. We agreed that it was a boring movie, and I apologized for having recommended it.

Later, I informed my parents of the screening, and that it was much worse than I'd remembered it. To cope, they incorrectly dismissed my opinion as youthful folly inflected by peer pressure.

this movie used to be on the local channel fairly often when i was a kid
i really didn't get it.

Not even.

Far from bewing his best movie, it is still a funny and charming farce. The humour have changed though, and the Seinfeld effect hit this movie too, which, back then, was considered hilarious by many.
Now it's mostly famous because of Sharon Tate.

It has an interesting if slanted depiction of Polish nobility, a great shot of Tate's truly memorable rack, and one joke worth knowing:
>Jewish vampire enters bedroom
>victim raises crucifix
>Jewish vampire: "Lady, ya got da wrong vampiya!"

Awful

>the Seinfeld effect hit this movie
How?

I like it but mostly for its atmosphere and mood, the humor doesn’t really hit but I like its quirky quality and just the general gothic horror aesthetics like spooky old castles, quaint European villages, vampire ball dances etc.. god describing this sounds really pretentious but legit it’s this qualities to this movie that I like. Rosemary’s baby is Polanski’s best though, perfectly captures paranoia really well and pregnant fragile rosemary is a great vulnerable character for that. The tenant is also a very good Polanski movie, check it out if you like rosemaries baby. It’s not as good but the paranoid feeling is there in a similar fashion.

I think The Tenant is better. Rosemary's Baby is great, but the ambiguity of The Tenant makes its portrayal of paranoia more interesting, I think

Personally I think he's underrated. His detective movies in particular (Frantic, The Ghost Writer, 9th Gate)

I would have liked to see more of Sharon Tate and more importantly, Sharon Tate's rack in the film

More like Sharon Tatas.

How'd he do it?

Why do you think 9th Gate is his best?

I much prefer Captain Kronos. FVK is only good for watching Sharon Tate.

Anyone reading the new Manson book Chaos that just came out on Little Brown? 20 years in the making.

FBI found a video at Polanski and Tate's home after the massacre. It showed Polanski coercing Tate to have sex with two men. They decided not to confiscate. The entire Helter Skelter theory is debunked.

Author is Tom O'Neill, lots of podcast interviews out now. Polanski was very dark. Wouldn't be surprised if he had some kinda role in her death.

It was low key perverted because Polanski is a pedo who never grew past juvenile entitlement. It's literally teehee boobs! Teehee à grill nakid!

> all of my opinions are provided to me via reddit: the post

It's either Rosemary's Baby or Chinatown, if you say any other then you're an idiot who doesn't know shit about shit. I think Rosemary's Baby is better put together, so it gets the edge. In my opinion, that is.

>It's either Rosemary's Baby or Chinatown, if you say any other then you're an idiot who doesn't know shit about shit
I love both of those films, but neither of them is my favorite Polanski film. Why do you think everyone who has a different opinion than you is an idiot?

It's too coincidental he made Rosemary's about a naive pregnant woman surrounded by a Satanic cult, and then his pregnant wife is murdered by a cult that defines the underbelly of America. And then he anally rapes a 13 year old. And then later makes The Ninth Gate where the main character fucks Satan.

The Tenant is also just bizarre, I view it as a guilty man paranoid and gone mad, it's a confession.

He raped that girl at Jack Nicholson's famous house, and Nicholson starred in Chinatown, about a rape/incest victim.

Polansky ruins this movie

How does that debunk the Helter Skelter theory at all?

it doesn't

sounds like you're the paranoid one

The Beatles lyrics "race war" being the impetus for the murders is bullshit, it was related to drugs and money exchanges at Tate's house. Manson also said on record that Polanski was a pedo long before his pedo rape. Manson didn't even believe in Helter Skelter, it was some half-assed babble.

The author interviewed the cops and got full access to sealed reports, for the first time. Worth a listen.

Great argument

Good movie, Polanski was legitimately great back in the day.

The first time I saw Repulsion, I didn't get the dated "sex-fearing virgin" premise, I thought it was a rape/incest victim. All of the imagery is rape imagery.

The Tenant looked like an attempt to rip off Kafka's cheap pseudo-intellectual paranoid hysteria, but it's not based on Kafka, it's from a less famous author who is pretty much "b-grade Kafka."

It is a little weird how rape figures heavily in the plot of Repulsion, Chinatown, and Tess. Like he was basically obsessed with it. But then again, who knows what all was happening to him when he was running around with no parents in WWII Poland

You're such a fucking faggot and you don't even realize it.

Weird trivia: Polanski was one of the last people to see RFK before he left to give his last speech. John Frankenheimer personally escorted RFK from a party he hosted to the hotel to give the speech. Frankenheimer was making a documentary on RFK and had complete access for months. Frankenheimer directed The Manchurian Candidate. Sirhan Sirhan is rumored to have been brainwashed or set up, and initially cited RFK's support for Israel as his motive.

Frankenheimer's footage was never shown iirc. A bit eerie.

Also Pirates, What?, Death and the maiden, feature rape or scenes of attempted rape in their plot
In Death & the Maiden is a central plot point

>getting "best" and "favorite" mixed up
You have to go back. My favorite Pedolanski flick is Macbeth, but it isn't his "best".

I'm sorry, I didn't know you were actually autistic. I'll try to be more sensitive

Bu he didnt wrote or develop most of this projects. Tess was Sharon Tate's idea, Chinatown had been offered to many directors before, Death is a stage production. Rosemary's Baby also has rape, but it was a Robert Evans project and its him who seeks and hires Polanski...

You can argue that rape is a common theme in the air in those decades.

Fearless Vampire Killers is a film that requires a couple of things going into it.

1. It was sold off of the sex appeal of Sharon Tate, at the height of her fame.

2. It's one of the very first big budget horror films that spoofs vampires, coming on the heels of Hammer Studios reviving the Vampire genre with the Christopher Lee Dracular films

3. It's also a functioning arthouse film from Polanski, around the peak of his fame as as director

I assumed you were retarded, but I didn't know you were so impaired that you had to be supervised when using velcro so you will refrain from eating it. I will try to use smaller words in the future and repeat myself more often.

I'd like to live in the world with Castle's Rosemary's Baby, just to see what it'd be like

I'm with ya OP. There are some beautifully shot scenes and the ball is haunting but it neither works as a comedy or horror.

seconded

based

so what?

that's one of the weakest polanski films.

Surprised this thread is up because not capeshit or JIDF titty post.

Everything about this post is wrong

its comedic horror and polanski is a top tier director, sorry youre too pleb to notice
