The famous film director Roman Polansky, by birth a Pole, was born in Paris on August 18, 1933.

He made his debut as a director of his own film in 1962. "Knife in the water" She won the FIPRESCI prize at the Venice Festival and was nominated for an Oscar. With a new painting coming out. "Disgust" In 1965 he became a recognized master of cinema. By the ability to create an atmosphere of anxious anticipation and masterful tension, many film critics compare him with the founder of the genre of “thriller”. Alfred Hitchcock . The striking completeness of the images created by Roman Polanski is further emphasized by minimal external effects, and the place of events often becomes a limited space. At the same time, the acting game and the deepest psychological subtext of the plot come to the fore.

Having an excellent sense of humor, Roman Polansky creates a very successful "black" comedy "Vampire Ball, or Sorry, But I Have Your Teeth in My Neck", which became a magnificent parody of traditional horror films.

After "Vampire Ball" No less successful work follows. "Rosemary's baby" . Less admiring reviews of film critics distinguished films "Chinatown" and "Bitter Moon" . But already in 2001, Roman Polansky again ascended to the top of the cinematic Olympus, thanks to the picture. "Pianist" It is a realistic and unvarnished story about the genocide of Jews. This film managed to collect almost all the most honorary awards in the world of cinema. /
