Tess(1979). A strong-willed young peasant girl attracts the affection of two men.

I have complicated feelings for Roman Polanski for all the obvious reasons, but this movie, which Polanski credits as a tribute to his late wife, Sharon Tate, who was murdered by the Manson Family a decade earlier, feels like a graceful, heartfelt and authentic eulogy. The cinematography is sublime, and the story about a woman forced to endure a life she didn’t deserve feels especially relevant.

Men are trash, Polanski included, but this movie really is something special. 8.5/10.
