Roman Polanski’s ‘Apartment Trilogy’ includes some of the most unnerving urban portraits ever put on film. With the occult conspiracy of Rosemary’s Baby (1968) and the bizarre delusions of The Tenant (1976), these films look at the modern city as a realm of intensely paranoid horror and psychological torment. Rosemary’s Baby takes place in New York and The Tenant is set in Paris, but the trilogy begins with 1965’s Repulsion, where the city in question is London.

Spoiler warning: This article gives away elements of the plotAndrea Arnold’s latest film is steered by a sense of wonder you don’t find in your typical family drama. The story of a young girl on the brink of coming of age navigating a hostile family life in north Kent, Bird is anything but one-dimensional. Throughout her career, Arnold has often been pigeonholed as a social realist. Although her skills as a director shine in social realism, reducing her to that label oversimplifies her talents.

Louis Feuillade is not an easy sell. A Catholic monarchist with a military background, he had championed bullfighting as a journalist before becoming a screenwriter at Gaumont. Here, he quickly rose to succeed Alice Guy-Blaché as artistic director in 1907 and transformed the company’s fortunes with a string of hit crime serials. Unpersuaded by the merits of stylistic experimentation, Feuillade was convinced that cinematic truth was best conveyed by melodrama.
