Knife in the Water

Knife in the Water (Polish: Nóż w wodzie) is Roman Polanski’s directorial debut. Crafting a story around just three characters and a boat, Polanski subtly and economically creates a tense, intriguing tale full of truths about love, pride, sex, aging, and the male psyche. Gorgeously filmed and strikingly minimal, you’ll either find this film an impenetrable bore or surprisingly compelling.
