I know this movie for a long time now, but right now I wanted to focus on it more deeply and decided to write this paper for my film studies.
Like in classical Hollywood film noir movies (e.g. John Huston's »The Maltese Falcon«) Polanksi decided to tell Jake Gittes story in »Chinatown« very strictly from his point of view. I found this very interesting and analyzed the movie with a special attention on how the audience and Jake Gittes see and hear and how information is spread from different characters.
The paper is written in German. You can download it here.
