Landmark movie in the film noir tradition, Roman Polanski's Chinatown stands as a true screen classic. Jack Nicholson is private eye Jake Gittes, living off the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-war Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together for one, unforgettable night in...Chinatown. Co-starring film legend John Huston and featuring an Academy Award-winning script by Robert Towne, Chinatown captures a lost era in a masterfully woven movie that remains a timeless gem.

ChinatownThis movie was slow moving, dragged out, and it was just another movie putting men on a pedistal while they abused their women. The women are all powerless. One gets hit in the eye by her husband and has a huge bruise, another gets slapped around repeatedly by Jack Nickleson, We learn she was rapped by her father, thus her daughter is her sister. She get's shot in the end by the cop working for her dad. All the women just take it. Would not recommend this movie to anywone!!.Score: 1/5

Classic Film NoirChinatown is perhaps my favorite movie of all time. Jack Nicholson gives the best and most understated performance of his career as Jake Gittes, a private eye who becomes entangled in a web of murder, infidelity and conspiracy. The film unravels itself at a slow methodical pace and by the end you will be on the edge of your seat..Score: 5/5

Perfection for only $9.99Right off the bat, this is an amazing neo-noir film. It's all the greatness of Hollywood's film noir, but in color. We're always used to seeing Jack Nicholson as the joker who laughs loudly and goes nuts half of the time. Here he is all that a 1940's detective should be. Roman Polanski gives an example to all directors on how to truly pay tribute to the classic film-noir. Who really steals the film in my opinion is Faye Dunaway. Unfortunately, she is only known for her cult role in Mommie Dearest, but before then she was the top actress of the time and this was up there as her best role. If Jack Nicholson is subtle, her acting is hardly perceptible. Upon second viewing is when you realize how great she is because you understand why she stumbles over her maiden name and why she lights up that second cigarette. And if you're not into acting, watch it just for the amazing script. It's hailed by many to be one of the best ever written. So, watch it and find out how great a movie can be..Score: 5/5

Absolutely amazing!!!!This is by far one of my favorite movies. In my opinion Roman Polanki's best work. Film Noir at it's finest, with a plot twist in the end that puts the 6th Sense to shame! A MUST SEE!!!.Score: 5/5

Forget it Jake, it's ChinatownThis is a terrific film! I wish more people would see it. It should have won best pciture, but lost to The Godfather part II, which is a wonderfuf movie, but you have to take it as part of a whole saga. Chinatown is completely different kind of film that is much more subtle in its story telling. As it slowly unfolds you can't help but be sucked into the story. It all leads up to a major plot twist and a stunning ending which completely blows you away! This is one of the greatest films of all time, and I highly recomend it!.Score: 5/5

Em 1937, a cidade de Los Angeles era uma cidade de estrelas de cinema, bandidos, mafiosos e grandes magnatas. J. J. Gittes é um ex-polícia que, agora como detective, está acostumado a manobrar entre eles. Tudo muda quando descobre que a mulher que o contratou, para o que seria só mais um trabalho em torno de um marido adúltero, não era uma esposa ciumenta, e que o homem que ele vigiou, um engenheiro do Departamento Municipal de Águas e Energia, foi assassinado misteriosamente. Agora, cabe-lhe descobrir a verdade, e a identidade e intenções da mulher que o contratou.

Die erscheinen bald darauf in einer Zeitung und Gittes muss feststellen, dass seine Auftraggeberin gar nicht die Frau des Opfers war, sondern eine Unbekannte. In seiner Ehre gekränkt macht Gittes weiter und sticht direkt in ein Wespennest rund um ein korruptes Bewässerungsprojekt in der Wüstenregion der Stadt. Als Mulwray ertrunken aufgefunden wird, wird die Angelegenheit immer mysteriöser. Drahtzieher der Affäre scheint ein gewisser Noah Cross zu sein und auch die junge Dame von den Fotos scheint eine große Rolle zu spielen …

Český
Film Romana Polanského CHINATOWN vytvořil významný milník ve filmové historii a brzy se stal pro příznivce detektivního žánru kultovním. Jack Nicholson ve filmu ztělesňuje soukromého detektiva Jake Gittese žijícího v temném morálním klimatu prosluněné předválečné jižní Kalifornie. Gittes je najat krásnou a noblesní dámou (Faye Dunaway) pro vypátrání nevěry jejího manžela. Během vyšetřování je však zapleten do víru zapomenutých podvodů a křivd, které odhalují spletitou síť osobních a politických skandálů vrcholících do jedné, nezapomenutelné noci v Čínské čtvrti. Ve vedlejší roli si zahrál legendární John Huston a film získal Oscara za scénář napsaný Robertem Townem. Chinatown je film zachycující ztracenou éru precizně vytvářených filmů, které za sebou nechávají stálý odkaz.

Големият френски режисьор Жан-Люк Годар казва, че “единственият начин да изразиш мнението си за даден филм е просто да направиш друг филм”. Точно това прави Полански с “КИТАЙСКИ КВАРТАЛ”.
