CHINATOWN: Corruption & the futile fight against institutional power

1 tim 23 min•10 oktober 2023

Often considered one of the greatest films ever made, Roman Polanski's 1974 Film Noir masterpiece Chinatown explores themes of corruption and the futility of fighting against institutional power. Richard, Monte, and Thorin discuss the devastating ending, the banality of the water rights subject matter, the impeccable pacing, and more. They ask if Jack Nicholson's performance is even necessary to this film, especially contrasted to John Huston's dazzling acting in a supporting role, and explore Faye Dunaway's diva turn. Why even call the film Chinatown and what does it say about the perception of the Chinese as The Other?
