"If Charles Dickens were alive to see Roman Polanski's faithful adaptation of "Oliver Twist", he'd probably give it his stamp of approval. David Lean's celebrated 1948 version of the Dickens classic and Carol Reed's Oscar®-winning 1968 musical are more entertaining in some ways, but Polanski's rendition is both painstakingly authentic (with superb cinematography and production design) and deeply rooted in the emotional context of the st ..."
"Andrzej Wajda's first three features form a landmark in Polish cinema, and a monument of that great decade of European movies, the 1950s. Working mostly during a thaw in Soviet control over his homeland, Wajda and his collaborators created three films that looked back at the Second World War from the perspective of a new generation whose youth was defined by the catastrophe of Nazi occupation and Soviet control. The first film is titled ..."

"Considered by many to be the most beautiful woman of her generation, Sharon Tate remains a fascinating pop icon and a poster child for the 1960s. What struck most about Sharon was her gentle nature and the sheer perfection of her face, but she was far more than just a beauty. The few films she made during her brief career, including "Valley of the Dolls," "Eye of the Devil," and "The Fearless Vampire Killers," have secured her position ..."
"So long, vacation. Hello, spellbinding suspense!

Roman Polanski (Chinatown, The Pianist) helms the edge-of-your-seat thriller. From Scott Turow's bestseller, Alan J.

"In diesem Monsterspektakel aus dem Jahre 1966, einer von Polanskis unverhohlenen Komödien, spielen Jack McGowran und Polanski ein tolpatschiges, aber dennoch heldenhaftes Vampirjägerduo. Die beiden kämpfen sich durch jegliche Art von Schlamassel, als sie gerufen werden, um die schöne und vollbusige Tochter (Sharon Tate) eines Gastwirtes vor einem Blutsauger zu retten, der doch sehr an Dracula erinnert. Einer der kniffeligsten Momente en ..."

"After the triumph of Chinatown, Roman Polanski's The Tenant marked an unsettling return to the horrifying psychodrama of Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby. As in those previous films, Polanski explores a descent into madness with subtle, deliberate pacing and keen attention to accumulating details. Cannily casting himself in the title role, Polanski plays the mild-mannered occupant of a Parisian flat previously rented by a woman who committ ..."

While on a Mediterranean cruise, Nigel and Fiona (Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott Thomas) find a young French woman named Mimi (Emmanuelle Seigner) crying in a bathroom.
