Plot Summary

Roman Polanski’s first feature is a brilliant psychological thriller that many critics still consider among his greatest work. The story is simple, yet the implications of its characters’ emotions and actions are profound. 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. This remarkable directorial debut won Polanski worldwide acclaim, a place on the cover of Time, and his first Oscar nomination.

Customer Reviews

Artistically filmed black and white

If you don't like psychological dramas, this movie won't be for you. There isn't a whole lot of action in it, either, most of it taking place on a sailboat. If you appreciate artistically shot footage in addition to the psychological drama going on, you will like this movie. It is shot in black and white, which adds to the moodiness of it. Each frame seems to have been carefully considered from an artistic standpoint, and is worth watching for that alone - that is, if you are into such things, which, lucky for me, I am. If not, you will find this pic dull and should probably choose a movie with lots of car chases and little dialogue.

Great movie

English translation is poor. Half of the dialogs are cut just because of that. If you know polish, you will enjoy the movie.
