The Tenant description 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 committed suicide by leaping from her upper-floor balcony. The woman's leftover belongings and the harsh attitudes of disapproving neighbors (including Melvin Douglas and Shelley Winters) begin to grate on the new tenant's psyche; his paranoia shifts from simmering anxiety to full-blown psychosis, until fate itself seems to run in a complete, tragically tormenting circle. Polanski masters the material as only he could, and despite some critical drubbing at the time of its release, The Tenant has earned a place among Polanski's finest films. --Jeff Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Would have been decent, except for the ending |
| This movie has some creepy aspects to it and the sound combined with the low-lighting is excellent, but the ending is terrible. It threw the paranoia/suspense into the toilet by making the story "come full circle".
The movie IS slow, so it requires some patience, but if you've seen other Polanski movies, then this should be no surprise. There are some unexplained parts, one of the main ones being the tooth, but rather than letting it be irritating just run with it. My favorite part were the people standing in the bathroom window, especially when he goes to investigate and looks out that same window! I suggest watching it if you have nothing better to do and don't have too high of expectations. |
