"Roman Polański is one of the most distinguished Polish directors in film history and the only one who succeeded in mainstream American cinema. A graduate of the Film School of Łódź, the cinema visionary is an expert on the dark side of the human psyche and a master of ironic social observations.
He is also a person whose life was full of tragedies and scandals. His movies fascinate, scare, but entertain as well. Polański's world-class career spans more than 50 years since he directed one of the best movie debuts ever, "Knife in the Water" (1963). In his filmography, real masterpieces can be found, but also artistic disasters. The list below is an evaluation trial of his vast and unique filmography, from worst to best."
