What is Roman about?
"Cinematic genius--international playboy--tragic victim--immoralist. Which is the real Roman Polanski? The world press has called him this and more. Now, for the first time, and 'to set the record straight,' the brilliant director of such films as Knife in the Water, Repulsion, Cul de Sac, Rosemary 's Baby, Chinatown and Tess tells ... his own story, revealing--in fascinating detail that only he could ever know--the mosaic of his life. Excusing nothing, being brutally honest about his transgressions from convention, Polanski deals with everything here, giving us remarkable insight into the schemes and intrigues that lie in wait for anyone living in the high-powered world in which he does. Among the many doors that are unlocked for us are those that lead back to his frightening but not joyless childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland, both inside the ghetto and on the run; to Lodz film school in the fifties, where he worked and played with equal intensity; to Paris and his early struggles to become established as a director; to London and Hollywood in the 'swinging' sixties, where he first won international acclaim. We follow him through his marriages, his love affairs, his friendships wit
