| Brief Description: | Roman Polanski's debut feature film is an incisive study of three people spending a casual weekend on their yacht. A young man, who joined the couple as a hitchhiker, gradually interferes uncomfortably into the couple's lives, and in a brilliant depiction of inter-personal tensions, tests their marriage. Winner of Best Film at the 1963 British Academy Awards and an International Film Critic Award at the 1962 Venice Film Festival. In Polish with English subtitles.
Criterion Collection Edition. Two-DVD set includes early shorts by Roman Polanski; a video interview with Polanski and co-screenwriter Jerzy Skolimowski; a collection of rare publicity and production stills; and an English subtitle translation by Polanski.
