More Polanskiana. This film location site<\/a> made the tracking down of locations in Repulsion<\/a><\/em> (1965) an easy business. I was hoping they might have an entry for The Tenant<\/em>, much of which is filmed around the Porte Saint-Denis<\/a> in Paris but the only other Polanski entries are for Chinatown<\/em><\/a> and Rosemary’s Baby<\/em><\/a>. No matter, one thing I like about the outdoor scenes in Repulsion<\/em> is the views of South Kensington which Polanski fixed a year or so before Donovan<\/a> was celebrating the area in a rather more positive manner. I have fond memories of South Kensington in the 1970s since it was the area we stayed in every February during an annual school trip. Barring a slight change of street furniture, the busy traffic island outside the Tube station looked just the same when we were there.<\/p>\n The exterior of Kensington Mansions in Trebovir Road<\/a>, the location for Carol’s apartment. I’d always thought this was in a street near the Tube station but it’s actually some distance away in Earl’s Court.<\/p>\n Colin (John Fraser) and Carol (Catherine Deneuve).<\/em><\/p>\n The hair salon where Carol works is Thurloe’s in Thurloe Place<\/a>, and the shop in question is still a hair salon. Google’s Street Views were taken in May 2012 so the flags are out for the Queen’s Jubilee.<\/p>\n Just down the road from Thurloe’s is the Hoop & Toy<\/a>, the pub where Carol’s would-be boyfriend, Colin, goes drinking with his misogynist friends.<\/p>\n The traffic island<\/a> outside the Tube station which in the latest Street View was still looking like a building site. The most surprising thing about the row of shops around the Tube station is that Dino’s, a restaurant visible in some of the film shots, is still there almost fifty years later.<\/p>\n Previously on { feuilleton } More Polanskiana.
