Genre characteristics of Polanski's apartment thriller

Doris 2021-12-22 08:01:12

Apartment thrillers, looking at "Cold-Blooded Horror", "Weird Tenant", and "Rosemary's Baby" will find that these three-step films are very similar in some respects. The protagonist is on the edge of depression, restlessness, and nervousness, and will doubt the people around her. For the protagonist, she (he) seems to be living in a huge trap woven by everyone around her, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t Break free. The protagonist will inexplicably fall into a nightmare or have hallucinations. The content of his dreams and hallucinations has a strong surreal color. There are many arms stretched out from the wall, the ground suddenly split, the person who accidentally breaks in, the hideous face, the face of the devil. ·· ···

    Everything sticks to the title, Repulsion, which is a good one. Intriguing, inspiring and very confusing. It's like Lynch's version of Barton Fink, only more nonsensical.

    The most beautiful moment of Grandma De, I love this film so much, I regret that the Qton screening was not successful, but I always want to watch it. When she walked down the aisle with a razor, surrounded by outstretched hands, I fell in love with the film.
