As a filmmaker I like him OK.

As a child raper, not so much.

I like his "apartment trilogy" of Rosemary's Baby, Repulsion, and The Tenant. Not such a fan of his more mainstream work.

A doc is coming out about his "rape" charge. Apparently the whole thing is completely ridiculous.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I figured you'd love THE PIANIST, tazber.


BTW: Foster, your shtick is getting tiresome.

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

I liked the Pianist, and of course Chinatown and Tess as well, but I think he's more creative when his tales include a sense of mystery and ambiguity.

Borstal - I read a review of the doc in EW. I'm curious b/c it does seem to say the facts we "think" we know are biased an innaccurate.

Wow- so he didn't have sex with a 13 year old girl? He can make all the explanations he wants- but if he put it in her he's a rapist. Too bad he's such a **** he ran instead of taking his punishment like a man.

He could have made 15 Citizen Kanes- it still doesn't make him above the law.
