Wanted and Desired isn't a particularly entertaining or dynamic documentary (I fell asleep twice during it, but in the film's defense it was Thanksgiving Day), but if nothing else it gives you a more clear understanding of what happened behind the scenes of Roman Polanski's contr...( read more)
I didn't like this documentary very much. It was hard to determine what the actual point of the movie is. Polanski pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13 year old. America thought this was pretty revolting, Europe wasn't so worried and was happy to have Polanski direct another...( read more)

A deeply thorough and in-depth investigation about not only the incident that involved Polanski with a 13-year old girl, but the judicial circus and media frenzy that followed. This documentary is an exercise in examining the relationships between our predatory, yet ignorant medi...( read more)
I realy want to see this but they sold all the copys at my local blockbuster before I could rent it!
I never knew about the press hungry/corrupt judge that oversaw Polanski's trial, which shed a new light on why he fled the country. There are a lot of screwed up people in the world, even talented filmmakers, and in this documentary, you at least get a peak into his story.

A documentary about Roman Polanski and his trial for having sex with a minor. Found it to be rather boring and was wondering why it couldn't have been a one hour television episode.
