EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Academy Poster for a double bill screening of two iconic films from the 1960s - "A Shop on the High Street" directed by Jan Kadar in 1965, and "The Knife in the Water" directed by Roman Polanski in 1962. The poster, predominantly blue in color, beautifully captures the essence of these cinematic masterpieces. Jan Kadar's "A Shop on the High Street" also known as "Obchod na korze" is a poignant drama set during World War II. It tells the story of an elderly Jewish woman who becomes unwittingly involved with a collaborationist regime when her shop is taken over by a Slovakian fascist. This thought-provoking film explores themes of morality, guilt, and human compassion amidst wartime chaos. Roman Polanski's "The Knife in the Water" alternatively titled "Noz w wodzie" marks his directorial debut and remains one of his most celebrated works. Set entirely on a sailboat, this psychological thriller delves into power dynamics and jealousy between three characters as they embark on an intense journey that tests their relationships to their limits. Together, these films offer viewers an extraordinary opportunity to witness two distinct cinematic visions from acclaimed directors. The Academy Poster serves as a visual reminder of their artistic brilliance and enduring impact within British Film Institute's collection.
