Is it the woman who destroys everything?

I watched this film on and off twice before I finished it. I think the story is a bit messy, with characters going in and out, and a group of hens running up and down. Such a chaotic and tense Polanski film is my first time. Once I saw that even though the ninth door was pretending to be a god, it didn't make me so impatient

, but the location of the film was chosen very well. When the tide is low, there will be a small road leading to the outside island. It is a must. As usual, it's a story of two men and a woman in an isolated location, an intruder and a couple. The three have a fickle relationship, and they even acted together in a play in front of another group of intruders. In fact, it may be interesting to say so. However, because the willful and eccentric heroine failed to seduce the vulgar intruder, which eventually led to a firefight between the two men, the intruder said painfully before falling down, in fact, this is not necessary at all. One man died, the other man became insane, and the woman abandoned them all and followed the other man off the island.

When Polanski first left Poland, with the support of two British people, he made this film, Cry on a Desert Island, and the other, Cry in Cold Blood. What happened to young Polanski at that time, did he have a problem with women?
