Is Polanski's "The Tenant" Off Da Hizzy Or What?

i like this film, tho i remember the english language version having some terrible dubbing

When he goes to the funeral and the priest gives the most hilariously morbid speech.

Is this sermon real or a hallucination? I always thought the latter, because--correct me if I'm wrong, been years since I've seen this--isn't it supposed to be a funeral? Why would the priest be talking all that brimstone and hellfire stuff at a funeral?

I need to watch this again. It was the last movie I ever saw that legit freaked me out

Still haven't seen Repulsion...

Oh, man. Isabelle Adjani as a 70's Parisian boho chick(*wipes drool*)...

Settle down there, me from 15 years ago.

ravissante!

I saw this film once years and years ago and it always stuck with me and now I've just read the novel it's based on - it's a really short novel, I read it in an afternoon - and I kind of don't want to see it again. Having Isabelle Adjani as Stella seems like a terrible piece of casting. Polanski as an insignificant little twerp is perfect but for the equally insignificant and ordinary Stella they cast Isabelle Adjani? Fuck off!

I don't actually remember much about the movie itself but Fassbinder's film of "Despair", which came out a year later, seems to cover some similar ground? I probably didn't pick up on how much of it is about anti-Semitism when I saw it first.
