…Chinatown look great and sound great on blu ray for a movie that is 39 years old but here is where the big but come in where the region 1 release have a 78 Doco called Water and power and a Audio Commentary with screenwriter Robert Towne and director David Fincher and 4 other Featurettes this region 4 release has nothing just a bare bone release…very disappointing the movie is still fantastic but because no special features it get a only a good rating not a excellent.
Chinatown
Roman Polanski’s Oscar winning Chinatown has evolved from a classic mystery to a landmark film.
Screen legend Jack Nicholson breathes life into sharp-tongued private eye Jake Gittes. Gittes is hired by a stunning socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate her husband, who she suspects of cheating. But what Gittes thinks is a routine case of adultery quickly deteriorates into a tangle of deceit, corruption and treachery. Even the City of Angels has a dark side, as this private eye is about to find out. He unravels one scandal after next, but the biggest mystery is what, and who, lies at the heart of it all. Robert Towne’s Academy Award®-winning script captures a lost era of crime-drama in this timeless gem of a film.
