Dear God, I love this movie. This is a movie that lives up not only to its fullest potential but the fullest potential of cinema as an artform and an entertainment. It is chock full of ridiculous red herrings that may drive some folks nuts, but I believe that’s part of the fun. In “The Tenant” we watch a man descend into paranoia and madness, though we’re not exactly sure why. And it’s funny! Roman Polanski stars in this film and he is wonderful — he’s got a vague Dustin Hoffman quality that’s fantastic. This movie also features the scariest bathroom in cinema. Seeing this for the second time doesn’t make it make any more sense (“Rosemary’s Baby,” for example, has everything spelled out for you at the end) but I think this is one of the creepier movies I’ve ever seen in public. The audience, which was doubling over with situational laughter in the first reels, became silent and tense and uncomfortable throughout the final half hour. Exactly as they were supposed to.
