The great success of Marina Zenovich’s Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008) led to renewed interest in resolving the statutory rape case that caused Polanski to flee to Europe in 1978. Then, in September 2009, upon arriving in Switzerland to receive an award at the Zurich Film Festival, Polanski was arrested by Swiss authorities acting on a U.S. request for extradition. Back in Los Angeles, Polanski’s lawyers attempt to enter new evidence of judicial misconduct during his earlier trial, while in Switzerland Polanski waits under house arrest. Caught in the middle are Polanski’s wife, French actress Emmanuelle Seigner, and their children. With the same sensitivity and assuredness that distinguished her earlier film, Zenovich carefully lays out the various aspects of Polanski’s predicament, while exposing the various ulterior motives at work on both sides of the case.
