by Julia Ain-Krupa (Author)

This book offers an examination of the films of Roman Polanski, focusing on the impact that his life as an exile has had upon his work.

Roman Polanski: A Life in Exile is a revealing look at this acclaimed filmmaker whose life in exile seems to have made his films all the more personal and powerful.

Written by a film critic, this insightful book follows Polanski's story from his childhood in a World War II Jewish ghetto to his early films in Poland; from his American breakout, Rosemary's Baby, to his wife's murder by the Manson family; from the spectacular return of Chinatown, to his exile as a convicted sex criminal, to the monumental career peak, The Pianist. The Holocaust, the oppression of communism, the shattering of the swinging 60s, the decadence of Hollywood, the life of a fugitive--Polanski experienced all of these firsthand, and understanding those experiences provides a fascinating pathway through his work.
