I loved this film but now won't watch it...or any Polanski film simply because it turns out he is a nonce & I don't believe in giving Benefit of Clergy to paedophiles.
I don't feel the same way, but I think I know what you mean. You reminded me of Daniel Barenboim:
"A lady who came up to see me in Tel Aviv when the whole Wagner debate was taking place said, ‘How can you play that? I saw my family taken to the gas chambers to the sound of the Meistersinger overture. Why should I listen to that?’ Simple answer: there is no reason why she should listen to it. I don’t think that Wagner should be forced on anybody..."
this reminds me I must see the sequel...!
I really ought to have seen it, but I haven’t. I haven’t heard terribly good things, though - I can hardly think of a film less in need of a sequel
Just rewatched it a few months ago. What a masterpiece.
Absolutely agree. For me, it’s an obsession-film (like The Social Network, perhaps, is for you)

Fair enough. I wouldn’t give that benefit either - I’m a fan of the film, not the man.
I agree BUT he's in it (briefly) & that's enough to turn my stomach.
