This 1962 thriller, originally released in Poland as Nz W Wodzie, was Roman Polanski’s first fill-length film after a series of shorts, and generated enough international acclaim to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Feature that year. It didn’t win, but Polanski did: He was noticed, and received enough attention, and backing, that three years later he made his 1965 masterpiece of a woman’s descent into madness, Repulsion, starring Catherine Deneuve.
