Abramovich's wealth not enough for Chelsea now
When you have grown up in the Communist regime of the former Soviet Union, started your business career importing rubber ducks and becoming the 12th-richest person in Russia thanks to owning an oil company, then being accused of "failing to demonstrate even a minimum amount of manners and education" is unlikely to bother you.

Venus in Fur: 'Polanski crams a lot into this uncomfortable comedy of mind games'

Rather like he did in the excellent "Carnage" (2011), Polanski is again adapting a play (by David Ives) and working within the confined environment of an empty theater.
