Mia and Roman

About This Movie

So, if you're into the behind-the-scenes stuff, Mia and Roman is quite the piece. It clocks in at just 23 minutes, but it captures this raw, unfiltered vibe during the filming of Rosemary's Baby. The pacing feels almost meditative, letting you soak in the atmosphere of the set. Shahrokh Hatami’s direction gives it an intimate quality, almost like you're eavesdropping on the creative process. The way it showcases the performers—Polanski, Mia Farrow—there's a certain electricity in their interactions. You can sense the tension, the excitement of making something that would ultimately stir a lot of conversation. It’s an interesting exploration of filmmaking, almost a time capsule of that era’s horror landscape. Definitely a unique snapshot.
