The Tenant: Polanski Completes the Apartment Trilogy

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Roman Polanski’s The Tenant has spent fifty years being the one people forget. Ask a room to name his horror films and you will get Rosemary’s Baby instantly, Repulsion from the more committed, and then a pause. The Tenant is the third panel of a triptych that critics only later agreed to call the Apartment Trilogy, and it is the strangest, the most personal, and — I would argue — the one that reveals what the other two were about all along. It is also the one where Polanski cast himself as the victim, which turns out to be the whole game.
