Episode 143 - The Tenant

This week we have a stay with “The Tenant,” a film by the extremely problematic Roman Polanski, which we discuss at length prior to our review of the film (and let this serve as a warning for those who may not be interested in hearing about him). We then move forward and focus on the filmmaking and all the contributions of the many other people that contributed to making “The Tenant.” Ultimately, we found this third entry in Polanski’s unofficial “apartment trilogy” to be an artistic success, and an interesting psychological thriller with lots to explore, garnering a double “rent” from the guys.
