MCT:October 30, 2008Roman Polanski's masterpiece, along with Rosemary's Baby. A real, true nightmare that continuously defies the viewer's sanity. Some of the scenes get printed in your mind, and if you look at them properly, they will surely haunt you for quite some time.

MCT:July 18, 2008The Tenant isn't a bad movie by any means, but my biggest problem with it is that Polanski is just not an actor. I had a lot of trouble taking it seriously because he was both inexpressive and prone to making really bizarre faces and noises. Further, it felt talky to no real effect, as if he didn't understand what needed to be abridged. That's fine for neo-realist film but this is supposed to be a dark, atmospheric piece - cut out the fat, dude.
There are some vaguely creepy sections and the movie is more interesting than not. As far as Polanski's efforts in the "apartment living sucks" genre, though, Rosemary's Baby was miles better. There, Mia Farrow was playing both a character and a concept, rather than just a stand-in for insanity like Polanski is acting like here. -

The third and least acclaimed part of Polanski's 'Apartment Trilogy', which was preceded by "Repulsion" and "Rosemary's Baby", is still a great movie loaded with creepy, haunting imagery. Although, inevitably, Polanski was accused of repeating himself with "The Tenant" it's actually quite different from the earlier films. For one thing, it's a black comedy rather than a straightforward psychological horror. The plot is wonderfully cyclical, fairly obscure in meaning, but not irritatingly so as with, for example, "The Ninth Gate". Ingmar Bergman's great cameraman Sven Nykvist's photography is superb and the film is only let down by some poorly re-recorded dialogue; excepting Polanski, Melvyn Douglas and Shelley Winters, nearly all of the vocal parts are dubbed.

Polanski finishes the apartment dwelling trilogy with a unique, strange and captivating film loathed by critics back on its release. it goes from a regular, existential black comedy unrelentingly transmuting itself into a paranoid, atmospheric journey of macabre visions and insanity.

MCT:August 15, 2007Directed and starring Polanski well worth a look im assuming?

MCT:November 2, 2008Starts off really creepy and weird. Yet towards the end of the film I felt it lost steam and I was pulled out of the picture.
