In Reply to: Le Pianist.... posted by patrickU on June 08, 2003 at 14:42:47:
...unless you forget "The Death and the Maiden" ("La Jeune Fille et la Mort"), from 1994.And, BTW, he has made some shitty things in the past, as that... thing named "Quoi?", whose only merit lies in Sidney Romeīs body, so generously displayed all along the "film"... ;^))
Polanski has been able to walk along practically every road in this business of filmaking, with such scary things as "Rosemary's Baby", or "Repulsion", some Shakespeare ("Macbeth"), flics ("Chinatown"), fine humor ("Le Bal des Vampires"), epoch ("Tess"),psychological ("Le Couteau dans l'Eau", "Le Locataire")..., and then things like "Frantic", "Pirates", "Lunes de Fiel"..., which I can only consider as "alimentary films" (done from the need to fill the fridge)
An interesting man! I hope he will recover his touch, as he has amply shown to be able to do great things.
Regards

I did not see this one, but think of the Ninth Gate or Frantic ( one of the most horrible film ever )
What, I see this long time ago what a lamentable film, and yes you are fully right Romeīs body* was...terrific !
I am not optimistic anymore after seeing " Le Pianist " not that this film is so bad, but more of what an " real " Polansky could habe done with this fantastic material.
I write him of.
But, I cherish particulary " Le Bal des Vampires " and there are not so much directors who can left THAT kind of legacy !
I am glad I have it.* We all did go to this movie...for her...or mostly.....and poor Matthau he could have been so good in his role..Roman waste it all away.
