5. The Tenant (1976) – Roman Polanski
If you’re looking for a total change of pace from typical horror movie fare, look no further than Roman Polanski’s The Tenant. While being one of the strangest, most Kafkaesque films you’re likely to find, it’s also unexpectedly accessible; even while the events unfolding on screen are a bit bizarre, the strong characters give the viewer a stable point of entry into the nightmarish tale.
The director himself plays the main character Trelkovsky, a quiet young man on the hunt for an apartment in Paris. He finally finds a suitable one owned by a cranky landlord, brilliantly played by Melvyn Douglas; but his new home comes with a lot of baggage – the previous tenant had attempted suicide, and after Trelkovsky visits her in the hospital, he seems almost haunted by her tormented spirit. Facing the hostility of his neighbors, and constantly in fear of being evicted, the tenant takes a journey to the edge of his own sanity.

If you are a person who watches Netflix, you have no doubt been greeted on arrival by a recommendation to watch Lupin. If you have not already begun to watch it and are spoiler averse, you may want to stop reading now. The first episode is arranged to make you think one thing, which raises all kinds of questions, and leaves you thinking quite another, which raises questions of its own. (Oh, there will be questions.) It s a long bandwagon you may want to join if you want to be somewhere else for a while, a trip to Paris filled with pretty people and views, with action and emotions and just enough meaning matters of race and class and such to make you feel that that there is something substantial to the melodrama.
