Roman Polanski after The Pianist examines Polanski’s later films as a distinct and coherent phase in his career. Situating these works within changing industrial, cultural and political conditions, the book shows how Polanski’s late cinema rethinks genre, sound, work, domestic space and historical memory. Drawing on production studies, sound analysis and theories of authorship and mediation, it explores the formal strategies through which these films construct their cinematic worlds. Engaging contemporary debates on art, morality and authorship, the authors argue for the critical autonomy of artworks in a culture increasingly shaped by biographical scrutiny and moral judgement.
