She died not long ago. She had no idea what she was seeing. Even after all those films, it just wasn't real until that moment. Fuck the censors. But above all it's 'absurd'.

In his biography, Polanski describes how the boy Romek was, from very young, passionate about cinema. Most of the time that meant surmounting barriers of one kind or another to watch the forbidden fruit. Often simply to overcome the lack of money. What the Polish censors didn't like about Knife in the Water was the lack of a positive message. Attempts to protect the European film industry by imposing quotas on US films would also, he laughed, now in fine humour, 'end up by locking French audiences into French films'.
