"Seven Days in May" - the movie - Is being shown on the Turner Classic Movies (TCM-TV) in one hour

I kind of liked the Ghost Writer.

I mean I understand that its not true to fact. I mean they actually did check on Blair's wife's career after and she was not CIA.

She's certainly the power behind the, um, throne. Big American links and much smarter than Tony "I'm a pretty straight sort of guy" Blair.

But I thought the film was really entertaining and very well done. I especially liked how Polanski shot the ending: with all the hands passing the note to the front. Kind of Hitchcockian.

I will have to check out the thread.

Polanksi is a technically gifted director. He's also intimately acquainted with the Dark Side.

But I've always liked Polanski. The guy has made some very good films.

I've long loathed Polanski.

There's a lengthy DPF thread here.

He's a nasty, self-obsessed, predatory paedophile.

Wow, I agree with both Jim and Jan. I too really enjoyed The Ghost and enjoy most of Polanski's work but as a human being....Jan nailed it.
I don't get it when people say he is being unfairly treated. He drugged and raped a child. Period. That she has now "forgiven" him is irrelevent.
