Roman Polanski burst onto the international film world in 1962 with a brilliant psychological thriller that many critics still consider his greatest work. The story is simple, yet the implications of its characters’ emotions and actions are profound. When a young hitchhiker joins a couple on a weekend yacht trip, psychological warfare breaks out as the two men compete for the woman’s attention. With stinging dialogue and a mercilessly probing camera, Polanski creates a disturbing study of fear, humiliation, sexuality and aggression. 94 minutes, in Polish with subtitles. Sponsored by Jane and Ed Pincus. Community Partner: Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Post-film event: Film scholar Bill Morancy will discuss the film at the Sunday show. Review
