Viewing Notes

I’ve been meaning to watch this Polanski film for ages, happy I finally got around to it via Criterion on Hulu Plus. Given that most of the movie takes place on either a small sailboat or within a car, the cinematography is excellent and probably what struck me the most about the movie.
