[kj] [OT] Magazine

Also, I think "Frantic" (from '88) is underrated. Really like that movie. 
As for Polanski's scandalous past, that might be resolved in the near future.  (Given how Woody Allen still continues to work in spite of his really wretched personal decision to have an affair with his step-daughter, nothing is impossible).

  Apart from "Pirates", "What?" and that awful "Oliver Twist" he did recently.

   

  My favourite Polanski is "The Tenant", and I'm also a huge fan of "Repulsion", "Chinatown", "Tess", "Knife In The Water", "Frantic", "Bitter Moon", "Rosemary's Baby" (in fact, when I was last in NY, I skulked around the Dakota building like a weirdo, amidst all the glum Lennon devotees, who were disappointed that I was looking for "Rosemary's Baby" camera angles rather than forlornly looking for bloodstains on the - erm - sidewalk). I also like "The Pianist", and the daft Devil book one with that Depp fellow. Oh, and "The Fearless Vampire Killers". And even "Cul de Sac". Donald Pleasence in drag? Count me in. His "Macbeth" is great too, as is "Death & The Maiden".

   

  He's a great film-maker, whose unfortunate tendency to molest under-age girls in Jack Nicholson's Jacuzzi rather spoils things.
