Chinatown EXPLAINED | A Deep Dive Into One of the BEST Screenplays of All Time
Intrigue. Corruption. Amazing dialogue. And so many twists, turns, and clues it's worth digging deeper into...
Robert Towne's screenplay for Chinatown (1974) is considered by many to be the best screenplay of all time. On today's show (also available as a video on YouTube), I dig as deep as I can into the script to unearth all the clues, twists, and turns that make the script (and the film) incredible!
