Repulsion - 1965 (English)Repulsion marked Polanski's move from predominantly Absurdist influences to an aesthetic more closely related to Surrealism and psychoanalysis. Filmed in England in 1965, it was co-written by Roman Polanksi and long time collaborator Gerard Brach. The film deals with sexual repression, the thin line between victim and victimiser and the demanding nature of modern social conventions.An outstanding performance by Catherine Deneuve, together with a spirited supporting cast and a snapshot of 'Swinging London' in the mid 1960s, make this one of Polanski's masterpieces.Cul-De-Sac - 1966 (English)Described by Polanski himself as his best film, Cul-de-Sac draws heavily on the traditions of the Theatre of the Absurd and echoes of Beckett's Waiting for Godot in both it's themes and visual style.George (Donald Pleasence) and Teresa's (Francoise Dorleac) marriage is based on a struggle for sexual dominance. Teresa attempts to win this game by assuming a male role in both her attire and attitudes. She emasculates her husband, physically and psychologically to the point of complete humiliation. George, for his part, does try to fulfill the role of dominant male, but ultimately his efforts are merely destructive and leave him more isolated than ever.Cul-de-Sac is a bizarre and blackly comic study that revisits Knife in the Water's theme of what happens when a tense relationship's fragile status quo is disrupted by outside influences.Knife in the Water - 1962 (Polish with English Captions)A married couple on their way to a sailing weekend invite a young hitchhiker to join them.In the confined space of the small yacht, macho rivalry and sexual tension soon turn to hostility and eventually violence.
