Very interesting insight into the lives of one of my favourite film directors. Memorably,I once saw him walking along the same street while strolling around Paris when I was a school girl and have been a fan of his ever since I fell in love with Chinatown.
Nicely written and researched account of this creative genius.
A fascinating insight into the life and works of a talented but immoral Polish emigre, who made some incredible films. Debuting in Poland with "The Knife in the Water" and progressing onto big Hollywood films like "Rosemary's Baby". The director's own life was not without drama either.
