Rosemary's Baby UK BD
As masterful as ever. The BD looks nice and natural with some great colours, shame there's no extras though. This film has aged so well it's quite unbelievable to think it was released in 1968 and set in in 1965/66...perhaps the affluent Manhattan setting helps in this respect. Many films of more recent vintage seem quaint, corny or unintentionally amusing nowadays but after nearly five decades
Rosemary's Baby does not suffer from this.....even the surreal sequence of the baby's conception retains it's effectivity. The moral ambiguity, nuance, atmosphere and Rosemary's gradual discovery of the truth all contribute to making this an enduring piece of cinematic storytelling that will hopefully stand the test of time for another 50 years.
