Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired

Audience emotional responses are heavily influenced by the film's 'Documentary' and 'Crime' genres, focusing on the controversial Roman Polanski case. A strong sense of **Curiosity** drives engagement, as viewers seek to understand the complex legal proceedings and the perspectives of those involved, including the victim. **Anger** and **Disgust** are prominent due to the nature of the crime (child sexual abuse) and the perceived injustices within the legal system, particularly concerning the judge's conduct. **Disturbing** is a significant emotion given the sensitive subject matter. **Empathy** and **Sadness** are evoked for the 13-year-old victim, Samantha Geimer, whose voice is heard. **Anxiety** is present throughout the unfolding of the legal drama and media frenzy, while **Confusion** arises from the conflicting narratives and the enigmatic character of Polanski himself.
