Очень арт такая картина. Операторская работа впечатляет невероятно.
Но не скажу, что фильм дико интересный. Смотрела с нескольких заходов.
Монотонная такая экзистенция, против чего я обычно не возражаю, главное чтобы вела к чему то.
Вроде поняла, к чему, и какая главная мысль. Но вообщем, стоило ли оно того - не уверена.
Хорошее ли начало для дебюта - это несомненно. Но я как-то ожидала немного другого ...
The first Polish film to be nominated for a Foreign Language Oscar.
Roman Polanski had intended to take on the role of the young hitchhiker himself, but Jerzy Bossak, head of the Polish film unit KAMERA
(under whose auspices the film was made), turned him down because he didn't consider the director attractive enough.
The character's voice, however, is Polanski's, who later dubbed the part over.
Zygmunt Malanowicz had a strong, developed, bass voice, which was quite inappropriate for the character.
This was Roman Polanski's directorial debut, and the only film he ever made in his native Poland.
Shortly after the film was released, Polanski emigrated to France (then to England, and then to the US), where he established his international fame.
During one of top mast shots, the cameramen Jerzy Lipman was tied to the mast and hold a camera.
Although the wind was not strong, the mast swung and the camera was heavy, so it was very difficult to take a good shot.
All the time the director Roman Polanski was very excited about the shot and kept asking how it was going.
Lipman got very angry and said "Fuck! It is fucking beautiful!" and... dropped the camera to the water.
He had forgotten to attach it with the safety cable. The Arriflex camera couldn't be found by the divers and still lies somewhere in the lake.
After the movie became known in US, Polanski was given a proposal to remake the film in English with some known Hollywood actors
(rumors talk about Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor), but he turned it down as he didn't want to "repeat himself".
The couple's car, seen in the opening and closing sequences, was initially supposed to be a Mercedes, but this was replaced with a Peugeot during filming to avoid political controversy.
(The more expensive car was perceived as an icon of Western luxury and decadence).
The boat used in the movie is rumored to be a former property of Hermann Goering, the Nazi party member and a friend of Adolf Hitler,
who used to spend summer holidays in the palace in Sztynort neighboring the filming locations.
Sunk during World War II in the Mazurian Lakes, it was restored and is - up to present date - owned by Almatur Travel Agency located in Gizycko, Poland,
very popular in Polish showbiz-related circles. The real name of the boat is "Rekin" ("The Shark".
Forms part of a loose trilogy of films based around a psychological ménage-à-trois with Cul-de-sac (1966) and Death and the Maiden (1994).
All three films feature a couple whose lives are turned upside down by an outside character.
