Plot:
In 1937 Los Angeles, private investigator Jake 'J.J.' Gittes specializes in cheating-spouse cases. His current target is Hollis Mulwray, high-profile chief engineer for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, whose wife suspects him of infidelity. In following Mulwray, Gittes witnesses some usual business dealings, such as a public meeting for construction of a new dam to create additional water supply for Los Angeles, as fresh water is vital to the growing community during the chronic drought; Mulwray opposes the dam. Eventually Gittes sees Mulwray meeting with an unknown young woman who isn't his wife. Once news of the supposed tryst between Mulwray and this woman hits the media, additional information comes to light that makes Gittes believe that Mulwray is being framed for something and that he himself is being set up. In his investigation of the issue behind Mulwray's framing and his own setup, Gittes is assisted by Mulwray's wife Evelyn, but he thinks she isn't being forthright with him. The further he gets into the investigation, the more secrets he uncovers about the Mulwrays' professional and personal dealings, including Mulwray�
Yes, I know there's already an upload of the main feature available but I thought I'd do my own as well, as I'm not one to take someone else's upload and claim it as my own. I also thought I'd include all the extras on the disc. It's quite a nice package of bonus features. I included screenshots of those in addition to those of the main feature. As you'll see in the MediaInfo, the main feature itself is also quite packed as far as audio and subtitle options. Please be patient, as I only just started uploading this to my seedbox so at the moment it's just my own connection providing for you until it grabs a whole copy. The extras are:
"A State of Mind: Author Sam Wasson on Chinatown" (UHD, 16 minutes) - The author and film historian expresses his admiration for the movie, discusses the principals in front of and behind the camera, examines the evolution of the script and Polanski's influence on it, praises the performances of Nicholson and Dunaway, and looks at the brilliant casting of Huston in this interesting but not particularly enlightening featurette, which doubles as a plug for Wasson's book about Chinatown.
"The Trilogy That Never Was" (UHD, 2 minutes) - Wasson returns for this brief piece that looks at preliminary plans for a third Jake Gittes film that never came to fruition and includes the original trailer for The Two Jakes.
"Water and Power" (SD, 78 minutes) – Divided into three parts, which can be viewed separately or as a single entity, this lengthy documentary chronicles the historical events that shape Chinatown, namely the channeling of water - a precious commodity - into Los Angeles. You won't find much about Polanski's film here; what you will get, however, is a detailed examination of the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the political and social hurdles that had to be scaled to ensure its completion, as well as a look at the controversies and skullduggery surrounding the project and the environmental issues facing Los Angeles then, now, and into the future. When viewed in one sitting, the piece runs a little long, and for a film about water, it's ironically dry, but a lot of fascinating information is imparted that adds vital context to Chinatown, making it a worthwhile experience for those fascinated by the movie's underlying elements.
"Chinatown: An Appreciation" (SD, 26 minutes) – A number of creative personalities, including directors Steven Soderbergh and Kimberly Peirce, cinematographer Roger Deakins, and composer James Newton Howard, express their fondness for Chinatown and dissect its structure and components in this elegant 2009 featurette. The movie's many layers and seamless intertwining of plot threads are discussed, as well as the Oscar-winning script, Polanski's filming style (Soderbergh calls the director the "master of motivated camera movements"), the lighting, score, and editing. The participants also analyze the complex story and its "inevitable flow toward doom."
"Chinatown: The Beginning and the End" (SD, 19 minutes) – The first in a trilogy of 2007 featurettes, this absorbing piece includes reminiscences from Polanski, Nicholson, and Towne, who don't always share the same memories. (Unfortunately, Faye Dunaway is a notable absentee.) Towne recalls the genesis and evolution of the script, his collaboration with Polanski, and how he brought some of Nicholson's distinctive characteristics to Jake Gittes, while Polanski addresses his reluctance to return to Hollywood to make the picture in the wake of wife Sharon Tate's murder. The film's original ending is also revealed.
"Chinatown: Filming" (SD, 26 minutes) – Nicholson terms Chinatown one of his "biggest learning experiences," and this in-depth featurette takes us into the production environment. Polanski talks about his meticulous attention to makeup and style, but his refusal to let the film seem stylized, and how he framed every shot of the picture. The director's cameo is also examined, as well as the unique contribution of John Huston, the support of producer Robert Evans, and some tiffs that occurred between Nicholson, Dunaway and Polanski during shooting.
"Chinatown: The Legacy" (SD, 10 minutes) – This piece looks at the rave reviews, popular success, and multiple Oscar nominations Chinatown garnered, and how the original music score was scrapped after the first preview. (Composer Jerry Goldsmith was brought in at the eleventh hour and wrote a new score in a mere nine days so the film could be released on schedule.) Polanski also confesses that Chinatown ranks as his second favorite film after The Pianist.
Theatrical Trailer (HD, 3 minutes) – The film's original preview completes the disc supplements.
Audio Commentary – Screenwriter Robert Towne and director David Fincher sit down for an informative and interesting commentary that examines the many facets of this fascinating film. Topics include the simplicity and understated power of Polanski's direction, the movie's distinctive music, the choice of aspect ratio, the performances of Nicholson, Dunaway, and Huston, and the myriad nuances and creative touches that distinguish the film and separate it from others in its class. The two possess strikingly similar vocal qualities, which often makes it difficult to determine who is speaking, but that's the only negative aspect of this probing discussion that's a must for fans of the movie.

"Chinatown: The Beginning and the End" (SD, 19 minutes) – The first in a trilogy of 2007 featurettes, this absorbing piece includes reminiscences from Polanski, Nicholson, and Towne, who don't always share the same memories. (Unfortunately, Faye Dunaway is a notable absentee.) Towne recalls the genesis and evolution of the script, his collaboration with Polanski, and how he brought some of Nicholson's distinctive characteristics to Jake Gittes, while Polanski addresses his reluctance to return to Hollywood to make the picture in the wake of wife Sharon Tate's murder. The film's original ending is also revealed.
"Chinatown: Filming" (SD, 26 minutes) – Nicholson terms Chinatown one of his "biggest learning experiences," and this in-depth featurette takes us into the production environment. Polanski talks about his meticulous attention to makeup and style, but his refusal to let the film seem stylized, and how he framed every shot of the picture. The director's cameo is also examined, as well as the unique contribution of John Huston, the support of producer Robert Evans, and some tiffs that occurred between Nicholson, Dunaway and Polanski during shooting.
"Chinatown: The Legacy" (SD, 10 minutes) – This piece looks at the rave reviews, popular success, and multiple Oscar nominations Chinatown garnered, and how the original music score was scrapped after the first preview. (Composer Jerry Goldsmith was brought in at the eleventh hour and wrote a new score in a mere nine days so the film could be released on schedule.) Polanski also confesses that Chinatown ranks as his second favorite film after The Pianist.
Theatrical Trailer (HD, 3 minutes) – The film's original preview completes the disc supplements.
Audio Commentary – Screenwriter Robert Towne and director David Fincher sit down for an informative and interesting commentary that examines the many facets of this fascinating film. Topics include the simplicity and understated power of Polanski's direction, the movie's distinctive music, the choice of aspect ratio, the performances of Nicholson, Dunaway, and Huston, and the myriad nuances and creative touches that distinguish the film and separate it from others in its class. The two possess strikingly similar vocal qualities, which often makes it difficult to determine who is speaking, but that's the only negative aspect of this probing discussion that's a must for fans of the movie.
