I didn't know he is rated high, officially?

Officially, yes, he is considered a brilliant filmmaker and is one of the most famous directors on the planet. But whatever you do, don't rent Repulsion or Chinatown. The former is 80 minutes of wasted potential - bizzarely acted, directed, and edited to remove any impact it should rightly have had given its subject matter. And the latter is just a bore, an homage to classic film noir that doesn't add up to anything and features one of the most insipid closing lines of any movie, ever. I have yet to be convinced of the man's genius.

Well, kinda yeah. Perhaps I was avoiding treating Polanski as 'officially one of the best' for fear I'd be doing it just because we're both Polish.

Chinatown and Frantic were brilliant.

How would you know what it's like to have sex?

For the record Polanski should go to prison for his crime not hide in a foreign country.

Yet we're all hiding on DAC.

Reading Revolutionary Road and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius - about halfway through RR and just started HWSG - we'll see, seem good so far
