Chinatown - Film Review
"In its total recapturing of a past, in its plot, its vivid characterizations, its carefully calculated and accelerating pace, its whole demonstration of a medium mastered, Chinatown reminds you again that motion pictures are larger, not smaller than life. They are, at their best, events calculated to transport us out of ourselves, as Chinatown does" - Charles Champlin (Full Review Here)
