If you loved Venus in Fur, try Knife in the Water

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

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 in Fur, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

foreign gem

What Knife in the Water 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.
