What happens when one of the world’s most famous directors becomes trapped inside one of his own movies? In 1977, Roman Polanski was convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. 30 years later, the Polanski case is still a live issue. ROMAN POLANSKI: WANTED AND DESIRED reopens this complex and controversial case, challenging many of the myths that have built up around it.
Drawing on interviews with many of the key players, the film explores how the case affected both victim and perpetrator, while addressing larger, lasting questions about the media, our cultural obsession with celebrity and the U.S. legal system. The interviewees include Polanski’s attorney Douglas Dalton, who breaks his silence of 30 years to reveal the extraordinary backstage maneuvers in the case, which ultimately led Polanski to flee.
