Latest Movies 2019 | Roman Polanski's Wife Criticizes Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, has been described as his “love letter to Hollywood,” chronicling the 1969 heyday of Hollywood, and the chaos that was going on during that time surrounding the Manson murders. One character who was involved in all of it was then-Hollywood director Roman Polanski. He had just been made famous by his 1968 film, Rosemary’s Baby, when his pregnant wife, actress and model Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family cult. Polanski was since ostracized from Hollywood after a conviction for statutory rape, which he pleaded guilty to but then skipped out of the country before serving his sentence.

Since being so embroiled in the story that Tarantino is weaving, the character of Polanski does play a part, but Polanski’s current wife, actress and model Emmanuelle Seigner isn’t very happy about it. In a recent social media report, (originally written in French, but translated by THR), Seigner expressed her distaste for the use of her husband’s story:

"How can you take advantage of someone's tragic life while trampling on them? Something to think about (I'm talking about the system that tramples Roman). A little explanation because I understand that people don't understand my point-of-view. I am not criticizing the film. I am just saying that it doesn’t bother them [in Hollywood] to make a film about Roman and his tragic story, and make money with it… while at the same time they have made him a pariah. And all without consulting him of course. Let's judge the film as a good one, but the idea of this is bothersome.

When asked about Polanski at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, all Tarantino had to say was:

"I’m a fan of Roman Polanski’s work, but particularly Rosemary’s Baby. I like it a lot.”

So I really don’t think the portrayal of Polanski is personal or anything. He’s a piece of history with a tragic story in Hollywood. It sounds like the choices he made and the fugitive he became don’t play any part in this film, so I don’t know what her problem is. He made choices that people don’t approve of, and people are cutting gross old men a lot less slack these days, so I don’t think she is going to change anyone’s minds on her old man. The people have spoken, and no matter how great of a filmmaker he was, and how tragic of a life he has lived, no one is feeling sorry for the guy these days.

I’m super stoked to see this film when it comes out. Are you excited? Once Upon A Time In Hollywood hits theaters on July 26th, 2019.
