Roman Polanski. A Creative Biography

Roman Polanski has worked in cinema for almost seventy years. He shoots in different genres and in different countries. All these years, his biography—in the eyes of society—portrays him alternately as a victim and as a criminal. He intrigues the public no less than his films, which are an exemplary combination of professionalism, uncompromising authorial vision, attention to the dark sides of the human psyche, a pessimistic worldview, and a bitter sense of humor. Specially for this book, Stanisław Zelnowski wrote a new chapter about Polanski’s latest film to date, "The Palace"!
