overview
What is Chinatown about?
You get tough. You get tender. You get close to each other. Maybe you even get close to the truth. Private eye Jake Gittes lives off of the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-World War II Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite 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. It blends crime, mystery, thriller elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Roman Polanski. With a runtime of 2h 10m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
