Until his arrest, Roman Polanski was never one to let the grass grow under his feet. Ahead of the release of The Ghost, John Patterson pays tribute to his restless artistry

Roman Polanski has never gone for the kind of consistency and repetition that makes auteurs of lesser directors. Far from it: whenever he has a success, he either moves to a new country (from communist Poland to swinging London to new Hollywood to old Paris), or picks a new project so violently different from the last, you wonder if it's a provocation or a private bet. Thus the sombre absurdism of The Pianist succeeded The Ninth Gate's occasionally risible Euro-horror, much as Chinatown, contender for best American picture of the 1970s, was preceded by the almost forgotten Italian sex comedy What? Nothing in Cul-de-sac foretold its successor, The Fearless Vampire Killers, just as Pirates gave no clue about Frantic.
