A landmark movie in the film noir tradition, Roman Polanski's Chinatown stands as a true screen classic.

Jack Nicholson is private eye Jake Gittes, living off the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-war Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together for one, unforgettable night in... Chinatown.

Co-starring film legend John Huston and featuring an Academy Award-winning script by Robert Towne, Chinatown captures a lost era in a masterfully woven movie that remains a timeless gem.

Superbly made and engrossing neo-noir that now seems almost like a perfect noir film itself so many years after it was first released sees Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway enmeshed in a labyrythine story of Los Angeles, corruption and secrets. It's also a film that works more and more beautifully on every level the more time you watch it, and that is it's great joy.

The Blu-ray transfer is genuinely very, very good. Especially in any of the outdoor scenes that take place where everything is clean, clear and vibrantly done. Even indoor scenes have this clarity but outdoors moments can be exceptional. However, as noted the disc has to lose a star for having no extras at all. I mean, even the DVD had some limited featurettes on it - so why nothing for this?

That part is a big letdown but the film itself superb.

 Superb transfer, no features

A wonderful hi def transfer for a great film. Avoid this uk release and buy the us version which comes with all the features from the recent SE DVD plus a new commentary.
