redvelvetteacake: I have always been astonished at the ease with which Polanski could create the feeling of paranoia. There is no specific way to effectively represent paranoia on-screen. It is a very private and quiet emotion. It is not something that is usually shared with an audience. It is not achieved with startling or shocking moments. It is something that requires several subtle layers of detail and restraint. Repulsion may be the most perfect example.  One Scene: Repulsion by Ti West Hey Helen, remember when we watched this and couldn’t sleep for a week?

  12. jergobardley said: I love Repulsion, but The Tenant is where it’s at for me. Guess it’s not really paranoia if the dread yer feeling is steeped in the growing discovery that something awful is really happening.
