Product Description
ROMAN POLANSKI born in Paris to Polish parents, Roman
Polanski was raised and educated in Poland He made his stage
acting debut at the age of 14, and performed on the radio show
“The Merry Gang.” Also in his teens, he appeared in several Polish
feature films, including Andrzej Wajda’s “Generation.” He attended art school in Cracow and the National Film School in Lodz, where he directed several short films, including “Two Men and a Wardrobe” (1958) and “When Angels Fall” (1959). These short films garnered him awards at various film festivals. His feature film directorial debut was “Knife in the Water” (1962) , which won the Critics’ Prize at the Venice International Film Festival, was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Foreign-Language Film.
Following the 2008 HBO documentary "Roman Polanski:
Wanted and Desired," which raised questions about the case, Berg said Polanski's rights were violated and the case was "plagued with prosecutorial and judicial misconduct."
In the film, Wells, the former assistant district attorney,
acknowledged having improper conversations with the judge,
Laurence J. Rittenband, and advising him on sentencing Polanski.
When asked about it, he told ABCNews.com he exaggerated such claims for the film to make himself look more important to the case than he was.
This book THE BURDEN OF BEING ROMAN POLANSKI IN A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON, is a chronicle and of course an excersisse of human injustice.
