Interesting doco about Roman that focuses mainly on his kiddie-fiddling case. I've always loved his movies but never knew much about the man. I found him a very sympathetic character... despite the fact that he got a 13-year old wasted on quaaludes and banged her. Recommended film - it's currently on HBO on demand.

I've only seen three of his films (Chinatown, Frantic & The Pianist), but I quite liked them. I still feel sad over the whole Sharon Tate thing, but not in that crippling, self-serving way that a bleeding-heart hausfrau might.

The tenant is great, but I've always had a soft spot for Chinatown, I know it's not the most exciting choice, but it's a great movie. His short films are insanely great!
