“Lauded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York as ‘one of the great modern masters of the cinema’ Roman Polanski has over the course of five decades refined a formal film language and expressed a mordantly ironic worldview in genre-defining films that are provocative, compelling and inventive,” – Roberta Ciabarra, ACMI Film Programmer & curator of the season.
Starting at Melbourne’s ACMI Cinemas on 5 November, ROMAN: 10 X Polanski will travel to Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane, screening at Palace Cinemas until 7 December.
