Watch the Titles: Polanski’s “Che?”

Director Roman Polanski directed Che? in 1972. It’s the last movie he made before heading off to the US to shoot Chinatown – the movie he is now most known for. The subtle and poetic handwritten title sequence for Che? were made by Jean-Michel Folon – a Belgian artist living in France. It’s a lovely ode to the classic Hollywood title sequences of the 1930’s and 1940’s, set to Schubert‘s “Death and the Maiden.”
