Because this is Hell, I don't know why I'm even surprised this fucker's back, especially at this point in history

Roman Polanski filming J'Accuse in Paris this fall
- Thread starter Sweeney Swift
- Start date
Directing a script about a famously wrongly-convicted man, of all things. Fuck his financial backers, fuck him, fuck anybody who works with him.
Polanski directing this is some bullshit.
Nevertheless, the Dreyfuss affair is an interesting bit of history that deserves to be filmed. Especially in how it could show how easily the Nazi's anti-semitic propaganda was able to take hold so easily.
Shame about the director.

Shame about the director.
He just directed a film last year starring his wife and Eva Green. Fuck it, he's a garbage human being but I love his films. Sorry guys, I'm in.
Since all the me too stuff kicked off I can never get that video of everyone giving him a standing ovation out of my head when I read his name. What a bunch of idiots.
No bounty hunter is going all the way to Paris to kidnap this guy lol
Hell dog the bounty hunter was lucky enough to get away with trying to kidnap a serial rapist in Mexico

goddamnit i just read about Dreyfus and thought it was really interesting.. someone else should make the movie though.
Oh man, I was just reading about the Dreyfus affair, which is just insanely interesting, but goddammit, Roman Polanksi...
I know. Still wish someone would get his raping ass to cops regardless.
Was it any good? Last I saw of his was Carnage and Ghost Writer. Both were dope with the latter being one of the better mystery flicks in a long time
yea Ghost Writer was his last good film tbh. though i haven't seen anything since then because I became aware of the disgusting things dude did
i will say that The Pianist is my favourite film of his
He fucking raped a 13-year-old.
i really like the Pianist, one of my favourite WW2/holocaust related films
but fuck polanski, never ever supporting anything he does again because:
OP
OP
Rosemary's Baby and the Ninth Gate* are the only films of his I've ever watched and I'm keeping it that way
*this was an accident in the sense that I watched it with the family when I was a kid and didn't even know who the director is, all I knew was Johnny Depp was hot and I wanted to see everything he was in. At least it worked out well sometimes
Even though the victim (Samantha Geimer) , now decades later, supports/defends Polanski?
But regardless, if I consumed art based on my knowledge of how much of an asshole an artist is/was in his personal life...id miss out on centuries of great art. Can't go that route.
Yes. It doesn't change what he did.
Also:
We're not talking about someone "being an asshole." I listen to Kanye West. I get it.
The vast majority of great artists didn't rape a child.
Dude Kanye is a lot more than just an asshole. He defends rapists and thinks slavery is a choice. He's not a child rapist, but don't pretend he isn't a piece of shit.
I get being personally too disgusted.
I don't get the shaming of those who can dissociate art from artist, as well as the notion of banning/burning art cause of an artist.
Sure they did.
It's just that pre-1900 it was worldwide technically legal for artists to have sex with people under 18 years of age.
But this is the last I'm talking about the subject since it gets too heated on forums. But, people should still go see Polanski films. And I will say that as much as people try to tell others they shouldn't
Too foreign for them. He'll get his applause when he dies though.
