No legal action in France against Polanski over this alleged rape since the country has a 20-year statute of limitations. Monnier said she was moved to speak out now due to the release of Polanski’s latest film, An Officer and a Spy which hits theaters in France next week, where Gaumont will give it a wide release. The movie world premiered at the Venice Film Festival where it won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize and earned mostly positive reviews.
