Chinatown (1974)
For those who have not seen this incredible film, I leave you with a synopsis from Channel 4:
In 1930s Los Angeles, cop-turned-private eye JJ Gittes (Nicholson) makes a living from sleazy divorce cases, and is called upon to investigate the private life of Hollis Mulwray, the head of the Department of Water and Power. It seems like straightforward adultery - but Gittes is in way over his head before he's even started.
Mulwray is murdered. After Gittes encounters Mulwray's beautiful wife Evelyn (Faye Dunaway) and her domineering father Noah Cross (John Huston), he thinks he knows what's going on - except with each new piece of 'evidence' his theories are disproved. In Polanski's L.A, nothing is what it seems, everyone lies, and corruption infects every aspect of public and private life.
