    The subtitles don't match up a bit. The version below has French subtitles, which is very annoying. I will find a cleaner version next time. The main line is: college students, hitchhiking, riding yachts, fighting husbands, engaging wives... The first few scenes are excessive, such as the husband changing clothes, and the action of a pullover will naturally change the perspective, which is very design... The middle-aged man looks a bit like Cage when he wears glasses, and the woman is a bit...

    It turns out that Polanski's best film is his debut, and the scene in the cabin behind is extremely...

    It was of epochal significance for Poland at that time, but the film itself was actually average, and the contradictions and conflicts between the characters were a little less...

    The 29-year-old Polanski smashed his first work, which basically established half of his achievements. Compared with the other small space works "Water Knife" in the later period, it is a little more...

    On the calm lake, the calm picture shows the subtle changes in the psychology and relationship of the three characters. The intriguing interpretation of humanity begins with this work and runs through all the works of the experienced director, while imprinting a sharp and cold-eyed interpretation that cannot be replicated by...

    In fact, this setting is still acceptable, but it becomes more and more unbearable when you look at it. . Fortunately, the climax of the second half connects the whole story. This sketch is exquisite enough, but it is still slightly inferior in terms of...

    It begins with a vague picture of people and ends at a stagnant intersection. With three people in one boat, the camera successfully plays the role of a voyeur; suspicion and jealousy run through, and the "record" without a position does not kill the suspense, but arouses harassment-like provocation. The knife that fell into the water has been plunged to the bottom of the...

    Last year's Polanski Film Festival's lost debut was great, and it was fortunate to be appreciated at major film festivals. The whole film is short and exciting, and the psychological changes of the three people are described very well. The music is also in tune! (Again, the question of "Why is that person a bit like a...

    Artists are also "social people"

    I watched this movie on a cloudy, bleak afternoon. You know, this is by no means a wonderful life experience. But the film may also be well-suited to watching in this depressing atmosphere.
     The beautiful sea, the well-built actors and actresses, and the Jazz that seems to emerge from the ground...

    Others are hell

    Polanski's films forever discuss control and power

    The most difficult thing to shoot is this kind of psychological drama with two or three people talking. It is the most difficult to make it not boring. I don’t dare to make this kind of drama without a deep perception of people. The first thing to...

Knife in the Water quotes

  • Young Man: [reciting a poem] Night. The oil in my lamp is low, Mosquitoes whine about me, That handful of stars above, Mother, are they you? Are you the white sail on the lake, Or the waves that lap the shore? Have you strewn my pages with stardust?

  • Andrzej: What d'you think you look like?

    Krystyna: Like your wife.

    Andrzej: Without me you'd be a whore!
