“One workday, while we were waiting to shoot, Roman was discoursing about the impossibility of long-term monogamy given the brevity of a man's sexual attraction to any woman. An impassioned John Cassavetes responded that Roman knew nothing about women, or relationships, and that he, John, was more attracted than ever to his wife, Gena Rowlands. Roman stared at him and blinked a few times, and for once had no reply.”
- from Mia Farrow’s memoir
ah! the anecdote that made me start a rumor that my ghost husband/short king john cassavetes actually directed this motion picture (don’t fact-check this)! now i can cope with giving it 5 stars :)
ironic that a movie about a woman horrified that she has no control over her own body was made by roman polanski

The energy radiating off this thing is so unwelcoming and uneasy but so interesting. I feel like a lot of that comes from the performances, they were all so bizarre but so right. Felt like 90 minutes! One of the coolest movie posters ever also.
"I dreamed someone was raping me."
last time i watched this, probably 15 years ago, it bugged me. Rosemary's lack of agency felt dated, kind of a variation on that thing where some old thriller could never work today because cellphones. by some probably very rigid reckoning of representation she seemed remarkably passive. i feel stupid about that now because that agency isn't missing, it's been taken, systematically stolen and then co-opted, which is of course entirely the point.
