An unsettling book about the worst kinds of ghosts -- those who take up residence in your mind through outside suggestion. A magnificent film also by Roman Polanski.

I‘m a big fan of both ‘Repulsion‘ (1965) and definitely ‘Rosemary‘s Baby‘ (1968), but I had still not seen Roman Polanski‘s ‘The Tenant‘. This film is part of a loose trilogy he made about the ‘horrors‘ faced by apartment and city dwellers. This one has Polanski in the lead role, stars Isabelle Adjani, and has a feeling of paranoia that is stifling.
It‘s been hard to shake this one since seeing it.

We're used to seeing haunted houses drive people crazy, but why not haunted apartments? There's no direct supernatural stuff in this one, and plenty of reasons to doubt the sanity of the protagonist but he believes the apartment to be the source of the strange goings-on. And believe me when I say they are strange! I saw Polanski film first, which was very weird, but wonderful if you're into that. #Youdrivemecrazy #90sinJuly @Robothugs @Cinfhen
