Knife in the Water
On their approach to a day on the lake, husband and spouse Andrzej and Krystyna practically run over a younger hitchhiker. Inviting the younger man onto the boat with them, Andrzej begins to subtly torment him; the hitchhiker responds by making overtures towards Krystyna. When the hitchhiker is unintentionally knocked overboard, the husband’s panic outcomes in surprising penalties. This was the first characteristic directed by Roman Polanski.
