Review of Knife in the Water (1962) by Eric H — 10 Jul 2014
Debut for Director Roman Polanski is an Amateur Film made by a Professional. It is a Sometimes Remarkable and Precision Picture from a Perfectionist. Visually it is more Impressive than the Thinnest of Psychological Gamesmanship.
Ultimately, this is a masterpiece. Great direction filled with a brilliant screenplay, it is probably the best debut film I have ever seen, as well as the best foreign-language film ever. I am not overestimating that, just thinking about this film gives me goosebumps.
There aren't many films with sort of ambiguities like this, filling up each of the characters and the events of their lives.
