Knife in the Water (1962) - Roman Polanski



“What I like is a realistic situation where things don’t quite fit in. I like to begin with a mood, an atmosphere. I begin to people the atmosphere with characters. When I thought of Knife in the Water, I thought, first, of the north of Poland where I used to sail and of a theme that wouldn’t involve large numbers of characters.”

Roman Polanski to the New York Times Magazine, 1971.
