Роман Поланский. Творческая биография

"You shouldn't ask yourself too many questions. That's the centipede syndrome. A centipede was asked in what order it moves its legs, and it couldn't walk anymore." — Roman Polanski* "Roman Polanski. Creative Biography" is the second book in the new series "CINEMA session" by the Bombora publishing house in collaboration with the legendary film magazine "SESSION." Specifically for the release of the book, Stanislav Zelvensky wrote a new chapter about the director's latest film to date — "The Palace." Roman Polanski is truly a great director! Great and even scandalous! As a child, he had to endure the horrors of war and wander through foster families, changing names to escape from fascism. The director's creative life was filled with triumphs, but his personal life was a tragedy. In 1969, his pregnant wife and brilliant actress Sharon Tate was brutally murdered by members of Charles Manson's "Family." This drama that pursued the director did not end there. In the late 1970s, he had to flee from the USA to Europe after being accused of raping a minor. Polanski's life is a kaleidoscope of incredible events. And his creativity is a separate amazing world, where its own laws reign. And thanks to this book, you will immerse yourself in this sometimes dark but magical world. *The editorial team of Bombora publishing and the staff of the magazine SESSION believe that it is correct to use this particular spelling of the director's surname, as with all Polish surnames ending in -i, we write with -iy at the end.
