Hi everyone. I`m not really sure about my favorite movie, I think that I don't have, but i will try. I choose "knife in the water", the first film of Roman Polanski (also as co-written). Knife in the Water was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 1963 Academy Awards, the first Polish production to receive this kind of recognition. One of the reasons why I like this film cause there are only three characters: Andrzej (Leon Stanisław Niemczyk), Krystyna (Jolanta Umecka) and a young man (Zygmunt Malanowicz) that make an incredible psychological atmosphere. A married polish couple pick up a young man in the road and invite him on board of their yacht, and everything happend there: psychological tension grows as the two men compete for the woman’s attention. A storm forces them ward off below deck, and tension builds to a violent climax in a claustrophobic space. I like the scene when the young man plays with his pocket knife in his hand, is like a metaphor of the entire movie . In the Polanski debut we can see the elemental characteristics of him: deep situacions, sexual tension and the psychologic drama are present in all film. I like the others elements like the music and cinematography. I like black and white movies a lot, I don’t feel old see these, I feel connected with other time and other sensibility. I really enjoy watching this movie and I totally recommend this cause you will having a good time.
