pacifyer escribiste:¿Hokusai? Yo al póster de Chinatown siempre lo había relacionado con los puchos Gitanes...

En la parte inferior al lado del brazo hay como una pequeña ola de Hokusai. Aquí dejo una imagen bien grande:

Paramount Home Entertainment have announced the US Blu-ray Disc release of Chinatown on 3rd April 2012.

EXTRAS:
- Commentary with Robert Towne and David Fincher— Towne and Fincher offer unique insights into this classic film. No matter how many times you’ve watched Chinatown, this commentary will open your eyes to a whole new experience.

- Water and Power (HD)— In this three-part documentary, Robert Towne visits sites along the original Los Angeles Aqueduct for the first time. He is informed of the social and environmental impacts and given insight into the major issues around the creation and ongoing operation of the aqueduct.
Part 1: The Aqueduct (HD)— The City of Los Angeles completed the 233-mile gravity-fed aqueduct from the Owens Valley in 1913, under the leadership of a self-taught engineer named William Mulholland. L.A. Department of Water and Power representatives along with Catherine Mulholland, granddaughter of the engineer, discuss the development of the aqueduct and its contribution to the growth of the nation’s second-largest city.
Part 2: The Aftermath (HD)— For decades a large rural community was desiccated under the management of water rights by the City of Los Angeles over a vast area of the Owens Valley. Legal victories beginning in the 1970’s lead to successful reductions in environmental damages and the restoration of some natural habitats. Historians, local ranchers and activists discuss the up-to-date impacts of the aqueduct and struggle to maintain a stable environment and community.
Part 3: The River & Beyond (HD)— Prior to the building of the first aqueduct a century ago Los Angeles relied solely on its own local water supply: the Los Angeles River and its aquifer. Today the river as a water resource is largely forgotten. Currently there are plans to re-develop the river to reduce L.A.’s dependence on imported water, reducing the environmental impact on distant communities, while creating parks and open spaces for the city.


- Chinatown: An Appreciation— Chinatown has been hailed as a perfect film. Robert Towne’s cynical labyrinth of secrets and sin, Roman Polanski at the top of his form, Jack Nicholson in all his glory, Faye Dunaway at her sexiest and most mysterious, John Huston as one of the creepiest and most unrepentant villains of all time, the great cinematography, the wonderful score, the bandage on the nose…
In this featurette, prominent filmmakers express their personal admiration for the film: Steven Soderbergh – Director – Traffic, James Newton Howard – Composer – The Dark Knight, Kimberly Peirce – Writer/Director – Boys Don’t Cry, Roger Deakins – Cinematographer – No Country For Old Men.

El film que nos ocupa está basado en la subtrama de la novela El Club Dumas, obra del autor español Arturo Pérez-Reverte, la cual es más del agrado del director, lo que se nota en la forma de tratar a todos los personajes implicados más directamente en el asunto, así el antipático Corso de la novela es trasformado por Polanski casi más en un aventurero de lo oculto que en un ladrón de incunables. El personaje de la muchacha, interpretado por la mujer del director, Emmanuelle Seigner, de quien en la novela se da la explicación un tanto velada de su posible condición, en la cinta se la exhibe con toda claridad.

* Audio commentary with director Roman Polanski

Reparto: Johnny Depp (Dean Corso), Frank Langella (Boris Balkan), Lena Olin (Liana Telfer), Jack Taylor (Víctor Fargas), Emmanuelle Seigner (la chica), Barbara Jefford (baronesa Kessler), José López Rodero (Pablo Ceniza y Pedro Ceniza/ etc.)

Gran parte del elenco de actores ofrece sólidos resultados: Johnny Depp es un modélico héroe a su pesar, demostrando una cualidad poco común de saber cuándo mostrar un rostro asustado sin parecer idiota; Emmanuelle Seigner sabe otorgar una ambivalencia a su personaje que no se esperaba de ella: junto a su marido debe haber aprendido a actuar; Frank Langella sabe mostrarnos un hombre frío que domina la ocultación de su verdadera alma hasta el final; Jack Taylor, bien conocido por el público aficionado al cine fantástico español, nos demuestra que es un actor excelente; Lena Olin también está perfecta, así como muchos de los actores secundarios, en especial José López Rodero en un cuádruple papel.
