In Polanski's feature debut, "Knife in the Water," strange power games were again to the fore, with ridiculous macho rivalries arising when a young looking man hitches a lift with a sportswriter and his attractive wife Though the plot itself is slim, the film is distinguished by Polanski's precise visuals, which point the shifts in allegiance between the three characters through subtle groupings; impressively, although almost the whole film is situated on a small yacht, the effect is always cinematic rather than theatrical
Polanski's film is implicit, ingenious, mesmerizing, and has artistic integrity It is filled with a very different sort of suspense There is no violence The suspense is hinted at, suggested, refined tautly, glimpsed, did-he-mean-what-I-think-he-meant?
The rich man's confidence was in his possessions, among which was numbered his attractive wife, lying in bikini, teasing by arousing expectations between them on the deck The student's confidence, casual, almost unaware, was in his very being... The husband resented the youth, the strength, the "cool," the easy virility of the student and worked out a compulsion to keep challenging them, to try to show his superiority
Polanski was fair each had his own strengths and skills; but the one obsessively resented the others
