The Tenant (1976)
8/10
If you can't beat 'em, be 'em

Polanski films should be watched chronologically. "The Tenant" stars Polanski and documents his descent into madness. After taking the flat of a girl who committed suicide, Polanski, due to his own isolation and psychosis, begins to question his own sanity and blames it on everyone else. He begins to be haunted by the previous flat owner which forces him to assume her identity. The beauty here is that the film never allows the audience know what is real and what is concocted until its climax that, at first, resembles a comedy of errors, but develops into an incredibly eerie disposition. I will have the Galouises please, i don't care for Marlboro either.
