...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 Rome´s 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.
