    Falling into the abyss of mental breakdown step by step, endless darkness and claustrophobic space enclosure, the atmosphere on the big screen is simply perfect. 8.4...

    For me, the film is only supported by Katerina's beauty. I always feel that Polanski's talent ended early in his debut "Knife in the Water", and the subsequent works only retain the...

    Polanski's attention to detail and atmosphere is flawless, as is the performance and cinematography. However, due to preconceived reasons, I personally prefer his later more mature work "The Strange...

    I didn't know it was a thriller in advance, but I watched it very closely, and my eyes were not too tired to follow the beautiful heroine up and down, left and right, and I was really scared and jumped a few times. Girls' Generation's CD was stunned and didn't recognize it, this...

    Another Polanski's psychological thriller for women, which to some extent is more frightening than The Lost Baby. It seems that the director is really obsessed with this kind of victim's psychological distress. The closed apartment scenes and the heroine's hallucinations are heavy and horrifying, and Kathleen Denver's sluggish and frantic imagery is a classic. However, after reading two of Polanski's early works, I don't think they are my...

    The plot is too dull and depressing to...

    Always a great director. I admit that when I watched it, the atmosphere was so tense and depressing, it was weird. ps: Why do we, under countless pressures during the day, always like to find something more depressing than life to make ourselves more depressed after work~ Hahaha. I am such a person, let the depression come more...

    9.0/10. ①A woman gradually became more and more misogynistic and mentally broken for various reasons, and in the process she killed several men who were close to her. ② Imaging techniques to render the horror atmosphere: high-level photography (light and shadow/composition); various horrific images and fragments (the distorted face of the heroine on the kettle, rotting rabbit meat, sprouting potatoes, cracks in the wall, softening The wall, countless hands that drilled out of the wall, etc.);...

    Deneuve is beautiful without gaining weight! As a horror movie of 65 years, the atmosphere and music are created perfectly. Deneuve's eyes are very good, and Polanski's portrayal of the heroine from the beginning of avoiding men to the final outbreak is very...

    In the 1960s, it was quite admirable to be able to specifically present the situation of mental patients and human fears and dreams in the movie. Although the rhythm is a bit slow, I think this is to bring out the terrifying and treacherous atmosphere in it, to show the protagonist's cautiousness not to disturb her fantasy world, and to show the protagonist's gradual collapse and disintegration. Many of the scenes are already firmly in my heart, because the movie really depicts the dream too...
