‘J’abuse!’ Polanski pushing ahead with ‘Dreyfus, c’est moi’ thing

Or: The Manson Family picked the wrong night.

(As I was saying a while back…)

Now at PJMedia:

Marc Tracy of Tablet Magazine believes that, in the director’s own mind, Polanski sees himself as Dreyfus, unfairly targeted because of his Jewishness.

Novelist Gore Vidal, who “was in the middle of all that” sexual scandal (and who wrote the screenplay for the 1958 film I Accuse! starring Jose Ferrer as Dreyfus), agrees:

“Anti-Semitism got poor Polanski.”
