I saw Chinatown (1974 / Polanski) on the big screen today. Definitely one of my favourites. I love its convincing philosophical exploration of time, memory, fatalism, morality, corruption, etc. One of those brilliantly balanced films of wide, big corporate corruption told through the devastating relationships between individual personalities. Any film that paints a portrait of urban life as one of heated oppression and faceless mistrust gets a thumbs up in my book, too.
