Years before she became a civic activist trying to bring attention to the horrific genocide in Darfur, Mia Farrow was an exceptional actress as one can see in her most splendid work "Rosemary's Baby" (1968).The film will be the subject of a retro screening at The Film Forum in New York starting on, appropriately enough, Oct. 31.
Roman Polanski's gem of a horror film was based on a novel by the late Ira Levin.
"Rosemary's Baby" is quite Hitchcockian in nature because the true horror of what has happened to Rosemary gradually occurs over the pace of the film. And, had it not been directed by a detail-oriented craftsman like Polanski, the film could have been disastrous, especially give the over-the-top elements of the storyline.
The soundtrack by Fantomas is also quite splendid.
Hmmm....it appears we are having technical difficulties downloading a trailer, so we'll just leave you with a photo from the film's family album:)
