What?

Beautifully filmed series of enounters with odd characters as a picaresque with deja vu. There is no story, no ending, no meaning (like Life, I guess). I have heard sport described as entertainment with no story. This movie is "pure" cinema, pretty pictures and noises. Filmmaking as sportYet, it haunted my dreams.

As others have noted, the Mediterranean scenery is gorgeous and Sydne Rome has a role that is somewhat akin to Alice in 'Alice in Wonderland'. She encounters some pretty strange people in this sea-side villa, including one of my favorite Italian actors, Marcello Mastroianni. If you don't try and look for a plot....or make sense of anything you're seeing, you'll probably enjoy it!

This movie was so screwie with no basic plot that it was an ok movie. It kept my attention because I kept thinking this story has to go somewhere with this cute girl running around with little or no clothes on, running into different people in different rooms in different situations and finally just leaving the home in a truck, sort of like a modern Alice in Wonderland story!!?? Really weird and sort of entertaining with a cute naked girl is all I can say....!!!

There was so much potential and leaves you feeling like they must have cut out some significant parts of the movie to make it make sense. The first two acts brought up some existential possibilities (perhaps she died and these characters represented emotions or traumas needing closure, and the deja vu aspect as well) and chances to identify what these characters meant to each other to give them more depth. The featurettes on the DVD give a little solace but the movie title is exactly the question one should ask themselves when rationalizing what you just watched.

It is no secret that Roman Polanski has created some of the finest films in contemporary cinema. Rest assured that "What" is an anomoly to that record. This is a poorly acted, poorly directed, and more notably, a poorly scripted film adventure. Beyond artificially staged scenes and attempts at parody, one must view from a distance the workings within Mr. Polanski's mind when creating this trip to nowhere. It would serve well as an example of futility when instructing future film directors in the art of movie making.

Haven't watched yet but delivery was on time and in good condition

Don't expect Chinatown or The Pianist here. This quirky little sex comedy starring Sydne Rome in one of her most delightful if a little weird roles is lots of fun. The girl escapes rapists and ends up hiding out in a mansion whose inhabitants don't seem to mind one bit there is a stranger around. Well, they are all a little strange. The dreamlike quality of the film suggests Alice in Wonderland and sometimes we wonder what the heck is going on. Enchanting and delightful romp.

This bluray is by far the best looking version of this little know Polanski film that I have seen. The beautiful Mediterranean scenery is the main focus here, and the goofy storyline second. Sydney Rome is quite good and does a nice remembrance as an extra feature.
