Review of Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008) by Lee B — 13 Jul 2010

This movie is deep, meaning it goes real deep into the case itself. The doc revolves around the case and has a interview with the victim. It is great in giving us the information about this, but it really just dwells on parts of it that could have probably been breezed over. And includes stuff that doesn't need to be there - like something bearing a resemblance to unedited footage of a reported signing on, saying where he is and signing off. There are too many asides. And when it start to dissect Polanski, it is a little late.

However, the interviews are what save this doc. Great interviews and insights from key people in the case. And what can I say, I was trying to be timely with the viewing.
