debuts in Competition tomorrow. The filmmaker won’t be at the festival or doing press but he has given a strikingly candid, wide-ranging interview for the film’s press notes., his experience in the MeToo and Times Up era and the enduring trauma of his wife Sharon Tate’s murder.
“Big stories often make great films, and the Dreyfus Affair is an exceptional story,” Polanski says. “The story of a man unfairly accused is always fascinating, but it is also very much a current issue, given the upsurge in anti-semitism.”“Another affair is possible, definitely. All the ingredients are there for it to happen: false accusations, lousy court proceedings, corrupt judges, and above all ‘social media’ that convict and condemn without a fair trial or a right of appeal.
I know a LOT about the case - including that the POS fled the US to avoid consequences Seriously, deadline? Why would you publish this crap headline? Stop giving cover to a man who drugged & raped a 13 year old girl
Roman Polanski has many victims in US & Europe. And, there’s another little girl from Malibu, CA besides myself whom Polanski sexually assaulted. She was few years behind me in school.
Why does this fugitive get to have an interview in the comfort of his own French residence? More importantly, why does a fugitive from the law get to continue making movies? What kind of system is this? Why has this been normalized? HypocriticalHollywood NoMoreAbuse
What specifically don't we know? Was she underage? Did you have sex wither her? That's all it takes. Or are you using the Schumacher defence of 'some kids are seductive.' Let me guess...
Gross that he gets to open up about being a pedophile assaulter.
This is why Los Angeles needs to have its media megaphone diminished. They’re still trying to white wash Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, no wonder Weinstein happened
Yeah, I don’t really care to know child rapists. That’s true.
Roman Polanski could stand to do less opening up and more shutting up.
“As a Jew who was hunted during the war and a filmmaker persecuted by the Stalinists in Poland, will you survive the present-day neo-feminist McCarthyism“ ...
He's still working. Never cancelled. No Oprah special. And the biggest celebrity philanthropist the world has ever known is the one being cancelled after being found innocent following investigation by every agency there is. Go figure.
Disgusting. Stop giving this monster a platform.
Can we stop talking about him and giving him a platform? He's a rapist.
I literally watched Repulsion for the first time just now and had no idea this whole thing was a thing I feel hella dumb
You drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl. What else do we need to know? Oh, right - she wasn’t a virgin, so you did nothing wrong. That’s what you claimed. Is that what you want us to know about you and the case?
I know he never faced justice for drugging and raping a child. Am I all caught up now?
I'm really positive that's not the case!
Cases. Cases. Plural. More women came forward. This is just the case that he was tried for.
What context or details could justify drugging & sodomizing a 13 yo girl? He asked her mom if he could photograph her? She was responsive to a kiss after a glass of champagne? Polanski was convicted but served no time, still makes movies. He should stfu.
Guy likes em young. Very. Man was robbed of his wife & child. Horrible stuff. But he became the degenerate. Wasn’t other people who forced him.
13yo girl...drugged.... and raped... That's all I need to know.
Fuck you, and “Knife In The Water” is shit
Wasn't he convicted, though? That's all you really have to know.
Poor little fugitive
Stop giving this POS a platform.
Yeah dunno. 13yo. Plied with alcohol and drugs. Anal rape. So what is not we don't know?
Maybe they know him too well and he doesnt like that!
Good director but a pedo. Period.
