It is undeniable that "The Strange Tenant" has a little Greek-style shadow, but the content and connotation of "The Strange Tenant" are completely different from the Greek style. Everyone knows that Polanski is very good at grotesque realism-style films. Under the surface of this style is a deeper discussion of human nature. You have to put labels such as "grotesque reality" and "grotesque paranoia" on him because he deserves it.
The alienation between people in "The Strange Tenant" is not on the surface, but the alienation between their hearts. The protagonist is just an image of living beings, a pawn of the director. To paraphrase the Internet: the precursor to the destruction of the world is when the alienation between people reaches freezing point. We have to pay attention to such cautionary words, and they are applicable at any time. This is the charm of classic movies.
