Knife in the Water (1962)

short description is not available

Roman Polanski's first feature is a brilliant psychological thriller that many critics still consider among his greatest work. When a young hitchhiker joins a couple on a weekend yacht trip, psychological warfare breaks out as the two men compete for the woman's attention. A storm forces the small crew below deck, and tension builds to a violent climax. With stinging dialogue and a mercilessly probing camera, Polanski creates a disturbing study of fear, humiliation, sexuality, and aggression.
