wow! I might just watch all your videos. I love this format

this was such a good video and done in a way that really drew me in! I was expecting it to have way more views- it definitely deserves it! 10/10

Boy, are you wrong! It's a good movie negatively affected by bad psychology. That's all. Hitch was very into psychoanalysis and at that time, many thought it would solve all human emotional problems, very naive. He used the same textbook Freudianism in 'Psycho', yet would you dare call that a bad movie just for that reason? 'Spellbound' also had beautiful black and white photography and a witty script. The suspense was effective and lasted all the way through. Really fun movie.

interesting so far. Note: it is professional wrestling on the TV, a "sport" referenced earlier in the film in the pub--the women fighting over a man. Different than boxing? Yes., in that it is a clownish but super-aggressive activity. A clumsy way viewers deal with their conflicts in life? And, "rape fantasy"? Looked more like a nightmare to me.

Perhaps he should have so informed his students.

The critic totally misses the point. The film is from the novel of Raymond Queneau the phenomenologist and it totally respects what he has written.

This is a long shot, but hopefully, I have the correct film. Sometime around 1975-76, I saw a black-and-white movie during the daytime on either network or public television in Oceanside, California. (We were still a few years away from having cable.) All I remember was a woman looking around in an upstairs bedroom. Then she heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and she backed into a corner and sat down on the floor. Her face morphed into a look of sheer terror, and you could hear her heart pounding and heavy breathing. I think she had her hand covering her mouth to keep from screaming, and her face went stark white. Then, out of nowhere, the heartbeat and her panicked breathing stopped and she was standing at the window looking out on a nice summer day. She may have experienced a flashback memory. This could have also been part of a TV episode instead of a movie. All I remember is the segment I described. It was on regular network TV or public television, and was in black-and-white. Is that a scene from this movie?

You were great 😊

Amazing movie, great actors❤❤❤❤❤

Michael is a Myers and Middle name is Audrey ... anyone else feel like Michael was a son of a single mother who got married into the Strode family Michael Myers was also portrayed as Laurie strode's younger brother if he was 6 in 1963 then in 1979 he would have been 21 and laurie was 19 .... Am I Crazy Or is it all there

“I didn't have enough money to bring her into my life permanently. Not enough fresh ideas either. Maybe she could have afforded me, but I doubt it. She arrived with my book in her hand and left with my rough drafts.”

Halfway thru I honestly stopped understanding what this guy was saying i thought he was doing a bit with trying to needlessly say the most complicated sentences ever but yea he wasnt

Great videos! Can you please post the background music file or give a link? It is very hypnotic.

Wow, I know I’m two years late and am only here because I was seeing if anyone had reviewed this movie I didn’t understand as a fourteen year old that resonates with me far too much as an adult. Your commentary really clicked with me, “As if her status as a victim is less important than her present status of human being in extremes. We can’t help the bored child in the photo, but maybe we can help this woman the child has become.” Almost made me cry, such an amazing review!

Too much blah blah and failed attempts to impress with his 'clever' use of English. Pass. 2 star review. TLTB

You're a genius. Amazing analysis. I wish you would do more films.

I hope you haven't given up on making videos, these are amazing, love the style

I absolutely loved your monologue, this is one of my comfort movie I watch when I feel under the weather, also the music that plays in the background, it gives me a very wes-Andersony vibe, I would love to listen to it if it’s available on any platform!

This is gorgeous. And vital. I love what you're doing and can't understand how I didn't find it sooner. I take 'Amarcord' over The Girl any time.

Nice!

This movie like a fine wine, get better with age

If there's something I hate of this film is how Polanski depicts men: mean, unbearable, disgusting, selfish...all of them, no man deserves pity, and I can't accept that... (but well, the movie is told from the point of view of Carol, so...). Apart from that the film is so strong visually and experimental, with the real world being distorted and fallen apart as it happens in the mind of the Catherine Deneuve's character. With references to Godard, Bergman, Resnais, Hitchcock and Robbe-Grillet, maybe this was the harshest, darkest and most disturbing story about the torment of child abuse.

My mind is blown not just with all the layers put in by Polanski but also the way you've uncovered them. Amazing job

What is the name of the background music in this video?

brilliant, thank you!

That "directed by Roman Polanski" going right through her eye reminds me of the eye being cut by a razor in "Un chien Andalou" by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali.

Brilliant videos. Well thought out and well articulated. Definitely deserves more views.

What a mean spirited, vacuous review! ;(

Also, I believe Roman's film The Tenant would've been better if he had of used an experienced actor instead of playing the lead role himself, I see Anthony Perkins totally in that role, the apartment trilogy was great with the first two films but The Tenant fell a little short of those two

I don't know if anybody else sees this...what's creepy about this film is how it mirrors in some way the real life events of Roman Polanski, you have a blond woman in a bloody nightgown laid out on the floor, she was slicing the Landlord with a razor on a couch, then the couch and carpet is soaked with blood, and there's dead bodies in different locations of the house who was killed by the same person, all I could see was Cielo Dr.

That wasn't a boxing match, it was a wrestling match she was watching, if you notice, they're not wearing boxing gloves and you don't throw your opponent across the ring in boxing, while Helen was "wrestling" with all that was going on with her sister, the rent, her lover, I agree the guys at the pub were in a boxing match, and how ironic, don't punch a guy wearing glasses

You want a meaning? try this one; her "repulsion" towards men put a spell on them, she kept enhancing the repulsion with her nightly rape fantasy from a dirty man, ughh the nerve of that guy lol, in her mind she couldn't even walk down the hall in her own home without some dirty, grubby men reaching out from the walls to molest her, even though she didn't like to be dressed most of the time, but anyways it's the men's fault lol so it's the old saying, people want what they can't have, and the wall she built in her mind kept them out, so there's the issue. Some of the scenes were eerie because of later real life events, like when Carol was slicing the Landlord with the razor, while he was on the couch, then blood was on the floor and couch just like at Cielo Dr. and for the most part, Carol who is blonde was wearing a nightgown reminiscent of the last thing Sharon Tate was wearing, and when she was found unconscious laying on the floor, I was like OMG! this is too creepy. One of the final scenes seemed to be the catalyst for Rosemary's Baby final scene, when Michael looks in the tub in total anguish but the audience doesn't get to see it with him, also all the old neighbors coming around was reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby.....now it would've been perfect if Carol was the mother instead of Rosemary lol that would make sense she's the demon seeds mother, seeing as how she is already ummm let's say questionable?

Don't you find it ironic that it was directed by Polanski 😅🤦‍♀️ knowing it depicts so many rape and harassment scenes...

I can clerly get this movie after watching these videos...great work.

You are good, my friend!

He may say so in his verbose 🥵review of the film, I don’t know, but it is obvious that Carol in the film has a psychosis. We find out that it was Bernard Hermann who made the music for "Vertigo", but the music in "Repulsion" is only mentioned as "drums" ?! It is now drummer Chico Hamilton's group that plays. Not just anyone banging on a drum.

Weird relationship with your own children, this is why I fear having kids, it's too much responsibility

Excellent review thanks!

Thoroughly enjoying this! 👍

I was just about to buy the Criterion version of this film, but wasn't too familiar with it, so I wanted to hear some people's thoughts concerning. Your video came up. Thank you!

your videos are criminally underrated

Compared to your review, the movie is crystal clear to me, lol.

I saw this in its initial run in Dallas, approaching 50 years ago, three times on three successive afternoons. I still love its memory, and you capture it perfectly, if incompletely. Oh, the peacock in the snow!

Great review, and I liked the way you linked the credits to Vertigo. May I add that I've always thought that the way Polanski's credit cuts across Deneuve's eye was an allusion to Un Chien Andalou.

Nice video, it was helpful and nice channel. You deserve more subs!

A very good video! Thank you! I wonder if Carol is named after the author of 'Alice in Wonderland', Lewis Carroll?

Brilliant, witty, and insightful! Thanks again.

thanks
