"Chinatown"

I watch this once a year and never cease to be ammazed at how well written, acted, and photographed it is. I once rad evey book on Lizzie Borden I could find and realized that the more you knew about those nurders the less you know. "Chinatown" is like that. It is so relentlessly evil. When Cross/Huston says, "Hollis and I were a lot closer than Evelyn realized" I always wonder, what the hell does THAT mean. And I love the forshadowing of the discoloration of Dunaway's eye and, later, her broken tail light. And of course the Oedepus reference at the end for her sleeping with her father. A wonderful film and one of my all time top 10.
