Mia Farrow fears for her future in Rosemary's Baby.
Roman Polanski’s (Carnage) masterful Rosemary’s Baby (1968) remains one of the filmmaker’s finest works and one of the greatest horror-thriller films of the past half-century.
Young Mia Farrow (The Last Unicorn) stars as young mother-to-be Rosemary Woodhouse, a newly married New Yorker (by way of Nebraska) who grows increasingly suspicious that her over-friendly elderly neighbors (High Society’s Sidney Blackmer and Harold and Maude’s Ruth Gordon) and self-involved actor-husband (John Cassavetes, Too Late Blues) are hatching a Satanic plot against her and her unborn baby.
Increasingly terrifying and darkly comic, Rosemary’s Baby was faithfully adapted from Ira Levin
Though it’s been available on DVD and Blu-ray from Paramount for years, the new Criterion editions offer a new high-definition digital restoration approved by Polanski and a handful of bonus features, including the following:
• Uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• New interviews with Polanski, actor Mia Farrow, and producer Robert Evans
• Komeda, Komeda, a feature-length documentary on the life and work of jazz musician and composer Krzysztof Komeda, who wrote the score for Rosemary’s Baby
• 1997 radio interview with author Ira Levin from Leonard Lopate’s WNYC program New York and Company on the 1967 novel, the sequel, and the film
• A booklet featuring an essay by critic Ed Park and Levin’s afterword for the 2003 New American Library edition of his novel, in which he discusses its
and the film’s origins
