A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I have it on DVD, I thought I might as well check it out again. After watching every single movie directed by Roman Polanski, except for this one, of course, I really had to watch this really bad and it took me many years to finally get my hands on the damned thing. Obviously, it is one of his most obscure movies and it was a flop when it was released but I can't say it was surprising. Indeed, it was basically some kind of very dark and twisted comedy and it is pretty obvious the mainstream audience wouldn't care for something like this. Honestly, even though I thought it was not bad, I must admit it was a really chaotic and also a rather misogynist movie. Indeed, the main character is a cute but completely clueless American girl who spends the whole movie half naked (first the top and then the bottom). In true Polanski fashion, the movie starts up with a failed rape attempt on this girl and right from the start, you never sure if you should laugh or feel embarrassed. The rest of the movie was basically a succession of encounters with some weird characters and I'm afraid the whole thing didn't make much sense. At least, Sydne Rome was really gorgeous and, if only to see her in her full glory, it is actually worth watching the damned thing. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is obviously a minor effort for Roman Polanski, I thought it was still a decent watch and it is worth a look but only if you are really interested in Polanski's work.
