Review of What?

What? (1972)
5/10
Polanski's off-week
31 March 2019
Probably one of the worst Roman Polanski films, maybe even THE worst. Begins with a bad rape joke, and goes from there. It's rambling, pointless (there is a germ of a "deja vu" idea that is never developed), unfunny (I literally didn't laugh once), overlong (at 109 minutes). The location (a luxurious Italian villa with a seaside view) is enviably beautiful, and Sydne Rome's (often nude) body is glorious. Those are the two main reasons for my possibly generous ** out of 4 rating.
