Plot 411: An interesting documentary on the scandalous life of director Roman Polanski.
Review: It's truly disgusting what fame and celebrity does to people . . . and in this case, I do not mean director Roman Polanski. I am referring to Judge Laurence Rittenband. This doc focuses on the highs and lows of Polanski's life, which included his survivng the Holocaust, his marriage to actress Sharon Tate, her vicious murder, his arrest on charges of rape and the sensational trial that followed. The man has apparently lived the lives of dozens of regular people, a life that is almost too outrageous to be real. This doc comes across as a piece of fiction more than the facts of someone's life. In the end, despite what Polanski may or may not have done to an underaged girl, the real shocker (or perhaps not) is the corruption within the courts. Even judges fall prey to vanity and celebrity. They use their power unjustly. It really, truly is sick.
Watch It: If you're a fan of court TV or an aspiring entertainment law student for a good case study.
Skip It: If a bunch of old guys recounting the past will put you to sleep despite the juicy content.
