    The last part of Roman Polanski's "Apartment" trilogy, the first time I saw Polanski's film, it turned out that this is a film that accuses society under the guise of a horror film. The shot of people's heads thrown out of the window in the film has become a classic. Isabelle Adjani wears big glasses, and I've never been able to confirm it was her because it was my first time watching her movie. She and Polanski touched each other while watching Bruce Lee's movies in the theater. They were...

    This movie is really depressing. Roman Polanski directed and starred, Isabelle Adjani is beautiful, but this woman's real emotional life is really sad. I didn't feel anything about basketball being turned into a human head, but the back light of the cross-dressing, the blue eye shadow, and the weird soundtrack all gave me lingering fears. When a neighborhood becomes a theater spectator, it feels extremely depressed and...

    Polanski himself in Camp movies? Hey-hey. Honesty as a secular morality, not as a way of thinking, is really just a form of identity violence. In addition, Polanski's photo of Bruce Lee's emoji package is very good, is he hitting...

    It didn't matter if it was Miss Zhou's dying fantasy or Tarkovsky's psychological breakdown. What matters is the whole story that Polanski presents, which is indistinguishable for both the audience and the characters. The movie focuses on creating an atmosphere, using the atmosphere of mysticism as hooks and loops, and the horror scenes that are clicked can always burst out with energy greater than themselves. While watching the movie, I heard a strange noise outside the door, and I couldn't...

    After re-watching it again, after much deliberation, I still changed the score to five stars. There is a lot of fantasy in the back of this movie, which really left me stunned. Josef Rossi has spent his entire life thinking about how to load surreal elements into serious social inquiry, but Polanski, at the best stage of his career, could easily do it. The last fear is the despair of the society, but also the despair of oneself, and even the despair of mankind. Probably the scariest movie I've...

    The Stranger Tragedy: "noble" old landlord, nasty concierge (Shelly Winters!!! Even dogs are fierce XD), weird neighbors, domineering coworkers (playing loud French music, ignoring neighbors and even protagonists Situation), the protagonist's sexual repression, and eventually even Adjani is not trusted, others watch the protagonist jump off the building from hell. (Meaning that Polanski played...

    Is Polanski the originator of this "can't go out" loopback horror mode? It's amazing, I saw the shadow of many movies after that. In several places, I really felt the horror of the scalp tingling, and I was convinced. The most powerful thing is that it makes sense to talk about young people who have been driven to insane by society. Adjani is so beautiful and has been waiting for her to go crazy, but she...

    4.5 Several scenes were filmed too well// Two days later, I decided to give five stars for re-evaluation. Although I am not satisfied with some of the twists and turns, it is really flawed. Polanski's own performance & the middle of the night toilet scene & basketball / head scene & body The philosophical thinking & the final jumping off the building scene... I really remembered many episodes after watching...

    The kind guy is driven to a dead end, who is the culprit?

    The indifference of the environment and the exclusion of the surrounding people will form an invisible pressure, which will make a normal person become mentally broken down.

    strong self-reflection

    This film has a strong sense of self-innuendo from the director, and it should be Polanski's own experience to expose the social status quo of this "others are hell". As a foreigner from Poland, the male protagonist in the film encountered many unexpected indifferences and ridicules in Paris,...
