Roman Polanski’s Chinatown Screened at the Alex
Alex Theatre (Glendale, CA)
Here’s your opportunity to see Roman Polanski’s epic 1974 neo-noir film Chinatown on the big screen at the grand Alex Theatre. Part fascinating historically based mystery and part bizarre psychological drama, the story is set in the water-starved Los Angeles of the 1930s and features Jack Nicholson as a private eye led into a complex, volatile case by femme fatale Faye Dunaway. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards, Chinatown holds second place on the American Film Institute’s list of Best Mystery Films. Polanski himself makes a cameo, and John Huston haunts the mystery with his sinister presence. Top-notch art direction, editing, casting and photography combine for an unforgettable drama.
