Knife in the Water by Roman Polanski 1963


Recently a new friend of mine named Misi sent me a list of cool films that are free on youtube and so I'm going to begin posting Misi's choices here as well.  Thanx.... :)

This was the first film by Polanski which caught the attention of folks in the west.

Basically an aging journalist and his younger lover invite a young, virile hitch-hiker to go boating with them. You begin to realize that the older journalist has ulterior motives for doing this, as he continually attempts to tear down the younger man in order to build up his own image with his lover. There's a weird, tense psychological and sexual dynamic in the film.
