    the shape of great things to come from polanski. highly suspenseful psychological thriller that doesn't rely on gore. men are silly :p
  • January 22, 2008
    directed by Roman Polanski 1963. very simple ,minamalist movie. Although it has plenty of tension, this is not a 'thriller' as I saw it advertised.

    Polish Lake country has never looked more beautiful or haunting
  • June 12, 2007
    Polanski succeeds at almost every level in his first work. a brilliant and tense drama set on a tiny yacht with two men on a dangerous game to win the female on board

    First feature for Polanski..psychological tour-de-force
  • October 6, 2009
    psychological, suspenseful

    October 2009 - He may be the devil himself but he knows exactly how to portray those evil feelings. A perfect triangle with no unnecessary additions. The angles and the acting and the black and white view of the water is so powerful and fits well with the characters. Enjoyed watc...( read more)hing it after many years from the first time.

    A unique debut,spooky in its simplicity and...mental excitement.The inner scope on this unconventional trio is more than just a picture.The only Polish feature film of Polanski.Three thumbs up!
  • August 2, 2009
    Extremely psychological and unnerving. It's not quite as extreme as REPULSION, but it certainly has it's moments!
  • July 25, 2009
    Filme lento de Polanski, que traz dois personagens em uma espécie de competição - uma tentativa de auto-afirmação por parte de ambos, ao tentarem demonstrar sua superioridade em relação ao outro.
