(aka "Le Locataire")
USA / France 1976

Polanski's quiet exposition on one man's slow descent into madness. The audience too is teetering on the edge of what the meek clerk Trelkovsky is believing as truth or his wayward delusions. A fascinating and haunting expose with elements of suspense and horror. Gary W. Tooze |

There is some edge enhancement here, but I
am not overly disappointed in the Paramount image. I had vision of this,
a favorite film, being washed out and hazy. Although not
Criterion-quality sharp, it is still acceptable and the colors are
relatively vibrant. Skin tones seem okay. No Extras to speak of except
the worlds shortest trailer.
As my expectations weren't too high, I have
to say this is a well-priced DVD from Paramount. Thanks for not gouging
us.
