    The mise-en-scène of the limited space and the dramatic tension created by the three characters are all worth watching.

    I didn't even know what Polanski wanted to say, but I gave it four stars without any hesitation... It's really nice, especially the last two-thirds of the way completely caught me, and the soundtrack is also very good. However, I really don't know what he is going to say... uh...

    The types of these people are extremely unfamiliar and cannot be placed in the types I know and are familiar with.

  • Andrzej: What d'you think you look like?

    Krystyna: Like your wife.

    Andrzej: Without me you'd be a whore!
