What happens when one of the world’s most famous directors becomes trapped inside one of his own movies? Directed and produced by Marina Zenovich, “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired” is a fascinating look at the public scandal and private tragedy that led to the legendary director’s sudden flight from the United States after his conviction for unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor in 1977. The documentary reopens the complex and still-controversial case 30 years later, challenging many of the myths that have built up around it, while exploring the circumstances that led up to his conviction, as well as the media circus that followed. The film also reveals — for the first time — some of the previously undisclosed and questionable behind-the-scenes legal maneuvering.
