Rosemary’s Baby
Roman Polanski’s sinister and sophisticated adaptation of Ira Levin’s novel is also one of the most darkly comic films ever made, in this case personified by Ruth Gordon as the busybody neighbor of poor, paranoid Rosemary who finds out too late that the funny, kaffeeklatsching blue-hair next door is a dyed-in-the-wool satanist. Polanski insisted on keeping the supernatural trappings ambiguous, which keeps the film firmly in the psychological-surreal horror mode of other films in his resume including The Tenant and Repulsion. Gordon not only revitalized her career but won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar to boot.
