Knife in the Water

Directed by Roman Polanski

Roman Polański’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.
