The Tenant (French: Le Locataire) is a 1976 French psychological horror thriller film directed by Roman Polanski from a screenplay he co-wrote with Gérard Brach, based on the 1964 novel of the same name by Roland Topor. The film stars Polanski, Isabelle Adjani, Melvyn Douglas, Jo Van Fleet, Bernard Fresson, Lila Kedrova, Claude Dauphin and Shelley Winters. It is the final installment in Polanski’s “Apartment Trilogy“, following Repulsion (1965) and Rosemary’s Baby (1968).
Critical reception
The Tenant was poorly received on its release, with Roger Ebert declaring it “not merely bad – it’s an embarrassment“. Gene Siskel likewise called it a “psychological thriller without the thrills“ and criticized the characters for lacking motivation. Since then the film has become a cult favorite. The film holds an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 37 reviews and an average score of 7.8/10.
