Review of Knife in the Water (1962) by Nick G — 11 Aug 2012
A very strong directorial debut from Roman Polanski. After having seen his third film Cul-de-Sac and finding it very pretentious and dull, I wasn't expecting to like many or indeed any of his pre-Rosemary's Baby efforts, but this is an interesting drama that feels quite a lot like the Bergman films of that time.
It's a tense film and an excellent exploration of the contrast between unsure but vital and rebellious youth vs knowing but perhaps insecure and jaded middle-age.
