Under Quarantine Film Reviews #109: I find it more terrifying that Polanski was more into his drag persona than Isabelle Adjani. He was mad creepy though, I'll give him that.

With all the excellent reviews this movie has gotten I was expecting a lot more. It's a good movie, entertaining at least, but I can hardly see what all the fuss is about. Perhaps it was groundbreaking at the time it was made?

It felt a bit like I was watching Repulsion again, but with a lot more dialogue and a theme of gender identity horror?

I love the details like how at the beginning the concierge twice nudges Trelkovsky forward while they're looking out the window. Also, the first night he fully dresses as Simone, the camera pans to the window across the street while ominous music plays, but nobody is standing there; he's satisfied his neighbors for the time being so they don't bother him. Ebert was dead wrong giving this only one star

Dysphoria, claustrophobia. Mental and spatial, if there even is any distinction. On what terms do mind and body coalesce, and how much of a person's identity is dictated by their environment? There is some sort of strange cyclical, cosmic, omnipresent spacetime at work here, just as in Don't Look Now, The Shining, Twin Peaks. The sound mix is sloppy and a few of the performances are stiff, but this film pays off in surreal spades of imagery and mood.

Not a horror movie in the traditional sense. With its fragmented, ambiguous sense of logic, this film works best as an allegory of cultural xenophobia set in the microcosm of an apartment complex. The final twist makes very little sense but inspires an acceptable amount of existential dread.

This is Kafkaesque, apparently - I should really read one of his books so I can properly understand what this means. I also hadn't realised that this was part of a loose trilogy; I liked the other two. My general ignorance notwithstanding, I really liked this. It perhaps works best as a surreal nightmare, filled with paranoia, isolation, weirdos and mental instability. I found it rather creepy and unnerving. It was really well made, as you might expect. Needed more Adjani, though. Worthy.
