Clive James Meets Roman Polanski (1984)
**** (out of 4)
This interview was filmed for the London Weekend Television and originally aired right before the Roman Polanski film REPULSION. In the interview, Clive James and Polanski have a casual discussion during dinner where they talk about the director's movies, his life and of course the two major cases in his life.
If you're a fan of Polanski then this here is a terrific interview as he really opens up about various things including his relationship with Sharon Tate as well as her murder. He also opens up about the rape scandal and his attraction to young girls. If you don't like Polanski then you'll have a field day with the stuff he says here as he pretty much defends his desire for young women.
The movie talk deals with CHINATOWN, KNIFE IN THE WATER and of course ROSEMARY'S BABY. The movie discussion is nice but there's no question that the fireworks happen when they are discussing Polanski's leaving America. You can tell the director gets quite heated over the questioning but it's a fascinating look into his thoughts during this period.
