ROMAN POLANSKI: ODD MAN OUT is the much anticipated follow-up to Marina Zenovich’s revelatory 2008 documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.  The original film detailed the legal machinations and intense media circus which surrounded Polanski’s trial for the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1978.   Polanski’s lawyers used the first film as evidence to re-open the 30-year-old case.  But did the documentary also trigger Polanski’s dramatic arrest and subsequent ten-month detention in Switzerland?

 

ODD MAN OUT picks up the story in February 2009 – When the LA Superior Court looks into the first film’s allegations of “…significant misconduct” on the part of the original trial judge.  But when Polanski refuses to return to Los Angeles, the 30-year old case is brought powerfully back to life in a way which affects everyone involved.

 

ODD MAN OUT follows the latest cat and mouse moves in this now-legendary case.  Will Polanski evade American justice one more time or will there finally be closure for the director, the victim and the legal system?
