Roman Polanski

Roman Polanski

Bursting onto the international film scene and never slowing down over four decades, Roman Polanski is undoubtedly one of the top modern directors whether you measure by greatness of individual films or consistency throughout a long career. Of course, his many personal trials, from the death of Sharon Tate to his ongoing underage-sex hearings to his European exile, consistently threaten to overshadow these achievements, even as he finally picked up his first Oscar for The Pianist.
