If you loved Venus im Pelz, try Das Messer im Wasser
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Roman Polanski, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Venus im Pelz, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
foreign gem
What Das Messer im Wasser is
Masuria, high summer. A windshield crack. A bourgeois couple invites a feral hitchhiker onto their small yacht. Male games of dominance begin, interrupted by a woman's cool gaze. A blade flashes. Early Polanski simmers with unspoken dread.
