In 1999, Nate Parker was accused of raping a woman. In 2012, his alleged victim, who testified that she had tried to kill herself twice after the assault, took her own life. In 2019, the Venice Film Festival gave a standing ovation and an award to Parker’s movie glamorizing a terrorist attack on a police station.
The Venice Film Festival has always been a sewer where Eurotrash effluent and Hollywood slime back up into Venice’s disgusting canals. Last year’s Venice Film Festival had seen a “Weinstein is Innocent” t-shirt. Polanski, a Venice Film Festival regular wasn’t there, because he feared being extradited to the United States over his alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl. And this time, Weinstein, who had spearheaded a campaign to get Polanski off the hook when he was nearly extradited from Zurich, can no longer count on the support of Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Julian Schnabel, and Darren Aronofsky.
Well, maybe Woody Allen.
There were no “Polanski is Innocent” t-shirts on display when the infamous director skyped in to avoid the long arm of the American law. But, Venice went one better by giving him the Grand Jury Prize.
Like Parker, Polanski also got a standing ovation. more here
You people’s priorities are wholly screwed, may we now be allowed to say that?
Criminal pervs will support other pervs. Just look at Hillary Clinton’s vicious attacks on Bill Clinton’s victims.
Hollywood and DC have turned into pedophilia central.
Disgusting people.
Beachmom,
They’ve been that for a long time, they’re just getting sloppier (or bolder) about it.
No need to say Polanski “allegedly” raped a 13-year old girl; he was found guilty by default. He IS a child-rapist.
The highest honor at the Venice Film Festival will henceforth be called The Jeffery Epstein Memorial Award. The trophy will be the statue of a seven year old girl.
Polanski absconded while waiting for his sentencing hearing. No alleged about it.
@Watch out, Bill Clinton will be presenter.
Why are they dragging Caravaggio into this sewer? He was a great artist and he lived a very interesting life, but died in 1610. Spike Lee and Harvey Weinstein couldn’t lick his boots, much less compete in his world. Roman Polanski got away with a heinous crime against a child. Harvey Weinstein assaulted more women than Dr. Cosby. Spike Lee is a racist. All these “artist” should have been ostracized and banished from Hollywood, instead of being honored by their fellow travelers at the Oscars. Is it any wonder that so many normal people have stopped going to the movies?
