The TVI Take
Roman Polanski's 1962 directorial debut — the canonical Polish New Wave entry. The structural commitment to a single-location yacht-based three-character thriller (an older couple and a young hitchhiker on a sailing trip) established the catalog's most-formally-disciplined first feature.
Polanski's only Polish-language film; Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
