- Roman Polanski

Some people say that Roman Polanski's films are always filled with bone-chilling coldness and loneliness. His miserable childhood destroyed the original purity and innocence of this world. Some people say that his films are full of obscurity and pessimism. His unique Jewish characteristics and experiences and the tragic life experience in the concentration camp made him only suffer the pain of life and feel the despicableness of human nature. Some people say that he was once a suspect of seducing young children, and his cold heart has been filled with hatred and madness after more than 100 knife marks left on his wife's eight-month pregnancy. Others say that he is a deep digger of human nature, and he awakens people to a thorough understanding of the world with a voice like a cry in a nightmare.

Knife in the Water quotes

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

    Krystyna: Like your wife.

    Andrzej: Without me you'd be a whore!

  • Krystyna: You're just like him - only half his age and twice as dumb.

    Young Man: What do you know about life? Just cafes, yachts and cars. Bet you've got a four-room apartment.

    Krystyna: I suppose you live four students to a room.

    Young Man: Six, actually.

    Krystyna: I've been through it myself. So has he. You're no better than him. He was just like you. And you want to be like him. And you will be, if you've got the guts.
