Born to Polish Jewish parents who fell victim to the Holocaust,
Roman Polanski barely escaped the Nazi occupation of Cracow to
become a filmmaker of global importance. His career has been shadowed
by tragedy and scandal in his personal life, but his body of work
ranks him among the greatest living directors. Infusing his work
with dark humor, psychological terror, and literary depth, Roman
Polanski reached his commercial and artistic peak in Hollywood,
and although a scarcity of recent films places his future reputation
in question, there can be little doubt that Roman
Polanski's place in the cinematic pantheon is secure.
