This dramatic account weaves together the rich and complex life of
the celebrated and controversial film director, Holocaust survivor,
and exile, based on a wealth of sources and new material. New
revelations about Polanski's life include: -- The connection
between his mother's death in Auschwitz and wife Sharon Tate's
murder by the Manson family--both women were pregnant -- His
radical transition from childhood poverty in a Krakow ghetto to a
glamorous Hollywood life among socialites -- The psychological
complexity and central thread of sexuality that runs throughout his
films and his relationships with younger women -- A culmination of
tragedies in Polanski's life, from the Holocaust to the Manson
murders to his sexual assault charges and subsequent exile from the
U.S. The unique humor of the rascal genius that keeps the world
watching and awaiting his new projects Acclaimed biographer
Sandford draws on dozens of interviews with actors who have worked
with Polanski, as well as previously sealed transcripts of his
criminal hearings, testimony before the California grand jury
following the accusations that led to his exile, and personal
reflections on the murders of Sharon Tate and other friends of the
couple. Polanski's films from 1962 to 2005 are contextualized
within his life, including such highlights as Rosemary's Baby,
Chinatown, and the Oscar-winning The Pianist. Sandford's
fascinating biography illuminates the life and work of one of the
most important careers in modern cinema.
