One Paragraph Movie Review: Chinatown

Seventy-eighth film: Chinatown, a private detective film responsible for me discovering Jack Nicholson’s unexpectedly large nipples. Everyone likes this movie, so when it came up in the book I was very pleased to tick it off and equally delighted to agree. A classic private dick movie complete with fedoras, broads, and water-supply intrigue, it was pitched at that perfect point where you’re mildly confused but can still kind of figure things out, so EXACTLY like life. If life had really startlingly large man-nipples. Four sliced-up nostrils out of five.
