roman polanski

Tag details

Film director/producer Roman Polanski's life has been one of both triumphs and tragedies. An Academy Award winner (for 2002's The Pianist), Polanski is generally acknowledged as one of the greatest living filmmakers with movies such as Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown all part of his resume.

However, Polanski's notoriety extends beyond his cinematic achievements. In 1969, Polanski's then pregnant wife Sharon Tate's name became forever linked to that of deranged mass murderer Charles Manson, as one of the victims of the infamous Manson Family Murders.

In 1977, Polanski fled to France after his arrest on charges of having sex with a minor — in this case, a girl who was thirteen years old at the time. On September 26, 2009 Polanski was arrested in Switzerland, ending some three decades of life as a fugitive in countries like Poland and France, after that original warrant was first served.

  • Projectiling on CARNAGE (2011)


    TRACTOR FACTS — Authority Authority: 79
    Theres a point in Roman Polanskis Carnage where the veins in Jodie Fosters neck tighten up so much that the area above her shoulder-region resembles a clinching penis about to ejaculate. That sounds crude, for sure, but when you think of the tension wanting to be released, in both cases, its right on the money. Kate ...

    The Worden Report — Authority Authority: 413
    I was drawn to the film Carnage by the actors—specifically, Christoph Waltz and Kate Winslet, though Jody Foster and John Riley can certainly hold their own as established actors, and in fact have been in Hollywood far longer than Waltz and Winslet. The primary message of the film seems to be that making up may be ...

  • “Carnage” Is Rip-Roaringly Bleak


    Anomalous Material - Movie Blog — Authority Authority: 553
    The typical lament with stage productions moved to the silver screen is that they are nothing more than “photographed plays.” And this notion at its root, more often than not, is probably correct. Roman Polanski’s cinematic adaptation of Yasminza Reza’s God Of Carnage could aptly be described as a ...

    The very first thing you notice about Carnage, the latest film from Roman Polanski, is the unparalleled cast. Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C. Reilly, and Jodie Foster play two suburban, yuppie New York couples who meet to discuss an after school altercation between their sons. Sounds simple enough, and the ...
