Incredibly, Roman Polanski is still talking.
Polanski—who famously pled guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl in 1977 before fleeing to Europe, where he remains to this day—has a new film premiering at the Venice Film Festival. Titled, in which a Jewish officer in the French military was falsely accused of spying for Germany. No doubt you already see where this is going.that he isn’t attending or doing press, but he did an interview with French writer Pascal Bruckner distributed as part of the press notes for the film.
“The way people see me, my ‘image’, did indeed start to form with Sharon Tate’s death. When it happened, even though I was already going through a terrible time, the press got hold of the tragedy and, unsure of how to deal with it, covered it in the most despicable way, implying, among other things, that I was one of the people responsible for her murder, against a background of satanism.
Polanski responds, “Working, making a film like this helps me a lot. In the story, I sometimes find moments I have experienced myself, I can see the same determination to deny the facts and condemn me for things I have not done. Most of the people who harass me do not know me and know nothing about the case….My work is not therapy. However, I must admit that I am familiar with many of the workings of the apparatus of persecution shown in the film, and that has clearly inspired me.
