As a determined Gittes delves deeper he soon realises that even the City of Angels has a dark side.
Director Roman Polanski’s Chinatown has evolved from an atmospheric film noir mystery into a modern-day classic, with Robert Towne’s Academy Award-winning script, unforgettably and brilliantly capturing a lost era of deceit, corruption and treachery.
