As you know, Reaps, The Shining is my all-time favourite film so I am biased but I will say that Chinatown' Jake is probably Jack's finest hour (or two!) as an actor - It's a brilliant film too.

I'm not sure of the landscape now but when I was getting into film in the late 1080s Chinatown was held in very high esteem by critics of the time, so I wouldn't say it's overlooked. Polanski has never suffered any sort of shunning either. His classics (Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown, in particular) are universally revered and each new film he's made has been met with interest and mostly fanfare - I'm a firm believer in the adage of allowing the work to stand by itself - it should never be judged for the crimes of its maker.

Agreed.

Although i don't actually like all his work (I never really got to grips with The Tenant for example) the ones i do like are all pretty much five star movies.

I'm guessing then that the booklet was the only difference between that and that previous release...I'm sorry for your loss, you obviously took it pretty hard.....

The US release is region free and has a fair few decent extras on it.

The first UK release was bereft of any - not sure about the Premium release.
