I have a hard time appreciating Polanski at this point even though he made Repulsion, which is a film I really like. Part of me understands that he was probably a mental wreck after his wife got murdered by Charles Manson and also that the girl has forgiven him, but there are just some things that can't be excused in any circumstances. But he also made Chinatown.
I don't understand what his work has to do with what he did though.
If William Shatner became a crazy serial killer I wouldn't suddenly not like Star Trek.
