Polanski's two most expensive features (adjusted to inflation) were Pirates (1986) and Oliver Twist (2005). Ironically, the films were also the biggest commercial flops of his career and received only mixed reviews. See more »Trademark:
By the end of his films, the protagonist often meets an uncertain, melancholic future (The Ninth Gate (1999), The Ghost Writer (2010), Rosemary's Baby (1968), Chinatown (1974) and Macbeth (1971)). See more »Nickname:
