Like the 80s, the 90s were a decade of fluctuations in Roman Polanski's career. During this time, the filmmaker obtained great successes, but also failures and disappointments because he could not make films in which he had put a lot of enthusiasm and work.
Polanski directed the opera "The Tales of Hoffmann" composed by Jacques Offenbach in Paris and Munich in 1992. That same year he premiered his film "Bile moons”, A script that he and Gerard Brach adapted from the novel by Pascal Bruckner.
Roman Polanski receives the León de Oro for his career in the world of cinema at the Venice Film Festival in 1993.
In 1994 he released his success "Death and the maiden”Tape shot a year earlier in Galicia and Chile. It is an adaptation of the play by Ariel Dorfman.
After a week of filming the film "The Double", a script that mixed the Edgar Allan Poe's "William Wilson" and Dostoevsky's "The Double", who had been writing with Gerard Brach for a year, the film was suspended in 1996 due to disputes between Polanski and its protagonist, John Travolta.
In 1997 he created the montage of his film "The Dance of the Vampires" to represent it in Vienna, at the Theater an der Wien.
At the end of the 90s he embarked on the adaptation of part of the novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte “El club Dumas”, which led him to release in 1999 his film "The Ninth Door", shot in Spain and Portugal. This film was the biggest failure according to critics, not so for the public.
