Free to roam after nine months of house arrest at his Swiss chalet, Roman Polanski made his first public appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival this weekend, showing that the director clearly feels comfortable moving about the country that refused to deport him.

Polanski arrived Saturday evening for a performance by his wife, actress and singer Emmanuelle Seigner.
