One other aspect of Noir is "Everything is not as it seems"! And this is exactly how you'd describe the universe of Chinatown. By the same token as Kim Novak of Vertigo, the Dunaway character isn't a femme fatale as we're led to believe until the final third, she's a tragic figure. Much like Scottie, Jake creates a whole lot of danger than good as he's being lured into this delusive cesspool where morality is as blind as Funaway's shot-out eye in its denouement. I'm sure there are many more treasures to be found in this 70's masterpiece.
Among the best decades of Hollywood, 90's isn't one of its richest. 70's at least stakes a claim!
In fact, Asian cinema has caught up with Holly in 90's and 00's.
...an artist without an art.
