Roman Polanski, and His Impact on Public Attitudes About Rape and Women's Safety
by
Liza Cooper
Roman Polanski's arrest has been the talk of the town for the past few days. He was arrested in Switzerland on his way to a film festival where he was to be honored for his work in film. He had pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a 13 year old girl in 1977 and went on the run to avoid prison. The reactions reveal a great deal about attitudes about women victims of rape, their rapists and their standing in the world.

The Film Career of Roman Polanski - Part Three
by
Russell Shortt
After the great success of Rosemary's Baby (1968), a terrible tragedy was to befall Polanski's life when on 9 August 1969, his wife Sharon who was eight months pregnant with their first child was brutally murdered along with four other people by members of Charles Manson's cult 'The Family'. Polanski, absolutely devastated, gave away all his possessions and returned to Europe, broken-hearted. He made two movies, Macbeth (1971) and What?

by
Mike Mcnaulty
When it comes to international film director's and their contributions to motion pictures it's difficult not to think of Roman Polanski. Having made films in the U.S,Great Britain,Poland and France Polanski's work is truly world-renowned. Rajmund Roman Thierry Polanski was born on August 18th, 1933 in Paris, France. Roman would spend only a few years in Paris as his family moved to Poland in 1937. They would settle in Krakow just prior to the beginning of World War 2 (1939-1945) but with his father being of Jewish decent they would not be safe from Nazi persecution.

Movie Review - Carnage (2011) (R)
by
Chris Pandolfi
There are many moments in Roman Polanski's Carnage that elicited laughter from me, but that doesn't mean that I found it funny. If anything, it was an unconscious reaction, a defense mechanism against the ugliness the film depicts. The only experience I can liken it to is listening to your parents fight; as they scream at each other, you find yourself doing whatever's necessary to distract yourself, be it laugh, clap your hands, or simply cover your ears. If you examine this story from a distance, you may find that it really isn't a comedy at all.
