A striking and exceptionally rare Roman Polanski tribute published in Tokyo in 1998. This oversized folio, similar in scale to an eighties Interview magazine, presents a bold and elegant exploration of Polanski’s early work including Knife in the Water, Repulsion and Cul de Sac.Featuring full-page colour plates, the book combines striking design with a sense of mystery and allure that mirrors its subject. Its sheer presence on the shelf is remarkable, both visually commanding and incredibly scarce. Copies surface only rarely, making this edition highly sought after by collectors of film, photography and avant-garde publishing.
