Classic film, love the ending. Nothing excuses what he did with Gailey. He’s been removed from the US Film hall of fame thingy I see, last year. He’s a complex person. I can still enjoy his films, no problem. It’s not that he’s an auteur, or what happened to Sharon Tate and their unborn child, it’s where he came from. Article <– (Holocaust subject, for fair warning) OK, Tate as well… just fucked – up.

I looked at if he was an abusive director on set:

"According to Farrow, Polanski’s directing style often involved him acting out the scenes himself to show the actors what he wanted, and this apparently had the effect of convincing Farrow to do a few outrageous things. For example, she ate raw liver on camera through several takes, even though she was a strict vegetarian. The most extreme instance of this, though, came during the sequence when Rosemary is attempting to flee the Bramford and walks out into traffic in an effort to quickly cross the street. This was not a carefully orchestrated sequence in which streets were blocked off and stunt drivers were employed. According to Farrow, she really did just simply walk out into a New York street and hoped the oncoming cars would stop. This was Polanski’s idea, and he assured Farrow that “Nobody will hit a pregnant woman.” He was right, and the scene was shot several times, with one caveat: Polanski himself had to operate the camera, because no one else dared to." Source The atheist bit’s interesting as hell, too. Just added another layer to it all.

Not your ordinary American-grown bloke, that’s for sure. Whatever that is, lol. I guess I was thinking about what I was commenting on earlier.
