After a bungled robbery, a gruff criminal flees to a tidal island, where he invades the home of a married couple. Roman Polanski's follow-up to Repulsion is an irritating black comedy, which offers neither thrills nor laughs. The script is all over the place and the performances are an acquired taste. Krzysztof Komeda's eccentric soundtrack is the saving grace.
