Polish political life is being dominated by Polanski's case. Some ask if the government is doing enough to defend him. Others argue that the state should not squander its authority by sympathizing with a pedophile.
"Polanski's popularity in Poland has always been huge. His rare theatrical performances sell out months in advance. He speaks to packed audience halls and his early films are treated as icons of contemporary Polish culture. In a country where film schools and the art of movie making have traditionally enjoyed a unique status, Polanski, a Lodz Film School alumnus, is simply revered."
