Cul-De-Sac: A mismatched couple (he effeminate and petulant, she sensual and enigmatic) share a bizarre sexual relationship, living in a remote castle. Their very isolation from the world prevents their eccentric partnership from foundering.

Only an outsider can disrupt their make-believe lifestyle. That disruption arrives in the belligerent form of Richard and Albert, two oddball gangsters straight out of a 1940's film noir, wounded, desperate and on the run. They demand shelter, and as Richard waits for instructions from his gangland boss, he slips into a dangerous round of game-playing with his unwilling hosts. But it seems that Richard is not always to have the upper hand...

Knife In The Water: A mismatched couple pick up a young brooding hitch-hiker who exposes the tensions between them...

Repulsion: Carol, a young girl living in Sixties' London, is repelled, yet fascinated, by men. Her radiant beauty attracts the opposite sex, but she shrinks from their advances. Her days are spent in an intensely feminine atmosphere: working in a beauty salon, and clinging to her sister Helen for love.
But, as she incarcerates herself in her sinister, shadowy flat, men begin to invade her dreams night and day, mixing her terror with delight as bizarre hallucinations take hold of her mind. The walls start to crack, literally, before the eyes. Finally, racked and depraved through her delirium, she is left with only one instinct towards the men who invade her life - that of a killer...

Bonus 4th Disc: 8 early short films from Roman Polanski. These are the internationally acclaimed 'Two Men And A Wardrobe', 'A Murder', 'Teeth Smile', 'Lamp', 'Breaking Up The Dance', 'When Angels Fall', 'Mammals', and the winner of the Best Short Film Award at the Melbourne International Film Festival, 'The Fat And The Lean'.
