Rosemary’s Baby
Leaving May 31
•
2h 16m
Directed by Roman Polanski • 1968 • United States
Starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon
Horrifying and darkly comic, ROSEMARY’S BABY was Roman Polanski’s Hollywood debut. This wildly entertaining nightmare, faithfully adapted from Ira Levin’s best seller, stars a revelatory Mia Farrow as a young mother-to-be who grows increasingly suspicious that her overfriendly elderly neighbors (played by Sidney Blackmer and an Oscar-winning Ruth Gordon) and self-involved husband (John Cassavetes) are hatching a satanic plot against her and her baby. In the decades of occult cinema that Polanski’s ungodly masterpiece has spawned, it has never been outdone for sheer psychological terror.
