Forget the statutory rape, making that film was a bigger crime from Polanski.

I thought it was ok for the first bit of the film, but as soon as he got to Europe it just turned into a farce. It was fucking horrendous IMO. It was like Polanski was trying to make some hybrid of a Hitchcock film and a Dennis Wheatley book. And failing spectacularly.
