  • "Roman Polanski: A Life in Exile is a revealing look at this acclaimed filmmaker whose life in exile seems to have made his films all the more personal and powerful. ''Written by a film critic, this insightful book follows PolanskiÕs story from his childhood in a World War II Jewish ghetto to his early films in Poland; from his American breakout, RosemaryÕs Baby, to his wifeÕs murder by the Manson family; from the spectacular return of Chinatown, to his exile as a convicted sex criminal, to the monumental career peak, The Pianist. The Holocaust, the oppression of communism, the shattering of the swinging 60s, the decadence of Hollywood, the life of a fugitiveÑPolanski experienced all of these firsthand, and understanding those experiences provides a fascinating pathway through his work.''"
  • "From the outright horror of Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby to the seething corruption of Chinatown to the Holocaust nightmare of The Pianist, the films of Roman Polanski have gotten under our skin. But despite a career full of wicked entertainments and outright masterpieces, the best Roman Polanski story of all remains his own life."
