I brought this up because of this local filmmaker AND the next door neighbors told me their son was one of his high school buddies. I have never discussed with them Salva's child molestation charges. He has made some award winning films that I have seen and you may have too. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0759207/bio No, I won't boycott Polanski's films. My point is his films have nothing to do with the crime. I agree with Turq and others that he got a bad deal. One Polanski film I watched recently, "Repulsion", made in 1965 was quite interesting. I want to take the segments where he has the street skittle band playing and put a tune of mine in it. The tune is a little ear worm that along with the video will drive a few friends crazy. :-D
