Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir
Synopsis
This is a thoughtful and candid film about the
acclaimed film director Roman Polanski. A Holocaust
survivor of the Warsaw and Kraków ghettos,
this documentary traces his career from youth,
adolescence, and early adulthood in Poland. Through
interviews with Polanski himself the film looks at his
emergence in the late 1960s and early 1970s as one
of Americaís most promising directors. His artistic
accomplishments are nearly as varied as the scandal
and notoriety that surround his personal life. He is
depicted as a man of great accomplishments who has
been touched by tragic flaws.
