Film The Tenant (1976)

  • Picture_7_large

This brilliant paranoiac-critical black comedy finds a mild-mannered Trelkovsky (played by Roman Polanski) scoring the Paris apartment of his dreams, only to find that the prior occupant left more than her lipstick behind when she jumped out the bedroom window. Trelkovsky travels some hilariously twisted roads in order to understand her final act, until with clenched fists he accepts his fate — to walk in his obsession's footsteps, high heels and all! Underappreciated in Chinatown's afterglow, The Tenant may be the last Polanski picture to capture his singularly comic take on the nightmare of reason. With Shelley Winters and Isabelle Adjani.
