A Study of the Aesthetic Stylization of Polanski's Films

Abstract

Polanski's personal experiences during his childhood are directly reflected in his expression of visual narratives, which in most of his films are full of rebellion and violence, against power, against class, against religion. In his conception, the underdog is never the object of sympathy, and with the help of a single sharp instrument that simultaneously cuts through the surface skin, he leaves his protagonists without the possibility of redemption.
