Roman Polanski who had his directorial debut in the year 1955 with the film “Rower” has come up with a stunner titled “The Ghost Writer” which is based on a book written by Robert Harris titled “The Ghost”. The 77 year old director has not let the fire in his belly die down a bit and he has come up with a classical political suspense drama that enthralls the audience. This film could be rated amongst his best alongside landmark films of his like “Rosemary’s Baby (1968)”, “China Town (1974)”, “Tess (1979)” and many more.
