(aka "Dziecko Rosemary" or "La Semilla del diablo")

USA 1968

Perhaps not worthy of the fright-fest moniker it seems to have achieved, 1968 Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby" is a taut psychological thriller anxiously building in tension with suburb performances by Cassavetes and Farrow. Adapted from the chilling novel by Ira Levin it attacks the one vestige of normal society that all child-rearing parents must cross - pregnancy and the desperate fear for a healthy newborn. Yes, it certainly is a horror with its satanic overtones but I would say the most abundant expression might be one of paranoia. Certainly this continued to announce Mr. Polanski as a viable directorial force and easily ranks as one of his best films.

Comments

This is the Paramount PAL Golden Classic edition which compares very favorably with the Paramount Region 1 release (we will compare a frame soon). It is the same as the original release but with an extra slipcase and a booklet. Lines are tight and the image is excellent. Color balance is good and its only flaw is that it may look a bit heavy, but not to the level of saturation. Strongly recommended!

This is my favorite Polanski movie, its the second one in his building block trilogy. The other ones are Repulsion and The Tenant. I really like the performance of the two main characters played by Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes.
