Knife in the Water (1962)
Roman Polański
Original Title: Nóż w wodzieCert: PG / 1h36m / Cast: Leon Niemczyk, Jolanta Umecka, Zygmunt Malanowicz.
Roman Polanski’s first feature mixed ostensibly simple ingredients: two men; a woman; a yacht; a vast expanse of water, and a haunting jazz score by the great Krzysztof Komeda. It resulted in not just one of the most psychologically gripping films of its era, but also Poland’s first Oscar nominee.
