ROMAN POLANSKI: WANTED AND DESIRED
Rated NR; 99min; Director:Marina Zenovich
Location: Alamo Downtown
In early 1978, Roman Polanski pled guilty to 'unlawful sexual intercourse with
a minor' after allegations that he fed alcohol and 1/2 a quaalude to 13-year old
Samantha Gailey before forcing himself on her. While out on bail for psychiatric
evaluation, he quickly fled the United States to avoid incarceration, never to set
foot on American soil again. As sinister as Polanski's actions are, this brand new
[unauthorized] documentary does not take aim the director himself, but rather
at the rabid press corps and the power-abusing, celebrity-drunk judge whose
vanity revealed a whole different kind of perversion. Featuring archival footage
of Polanski (and as his infamously murdered wife, Sharon Tate), interviews from
both sides of the aisle, including the victim herself and Hollywood friends and
numerous clips from Polanski's own films.
Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
