About this product

Product Information

In Francois Ozon's SWIMMING POOL, Charlotte Rampling plays Sarah Morton, a prim and proper British author who has written a successful series of mystery-crime novels. However, when she visits her London publisher (Charles Dance) in a dour mood, wearing a depressive pout, and complains that she's no longer his favorite, he invites her to use his vacation home in the south of France as a tranquil escape to try her hand at writing something different. Once there, Sarah receives an unexpected and highly unwelcome visit from his bold, sexy, confrontational teenage daughter Julie (Ludivine Sagnier). The two are instantly at odds with each other, as Julie drinks, smokes, and slinks around the pool topless. Her loose sexual mores and mysterious late nights infuriate Sarah, whose puritanical unease is only exacerbated in Julie's presence. Wonderful scenes of Sarah writing at her computer, her lips twitching wickedly with twisted inspiration, indicate that the story is about to take a turn for the weird. And that it does, quickly, as booze-clouded activities by the swimming pool become dark and seedy.In this immaculate thriller, Rampling and Sagnier ignite the screen with static tension. Stunted conversations, resentful glances, and strange insights about the personality of each character give the story a tangible electricity. The idyllic vacation home and sun-drenched swimming pool put an ironic spin on the haunting story. And as Ozon works his magic with pensive camerawork, providing moments of true visual comedy that only enhance the plot's intrigue, viewers will delight in what is at once an understated yet powerful narrative feat.

  • eXeCeLLeNT psychological thrills... WARNING SPOILER

    I saw this on cable with my sister, and then since I like all things French I bought the dvd. We chatted the other day about the ending, movie fans that we are. She didn't get that the whole episode at the French house was part of her imagination. WARNING, DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM, IT INCLUDES A SPOILER. The authoress is at an empty house and empty village and she invents all the characters and their antics in the first 60 minutes of the film, which you don't actally know till the end of the film when the real, pudgy faced pre-teen girl with braces greets her father in his office, not the same girl. My sister, complained that she didn't get the ending, until we talked about the fact that what we're seeing is what is inside the writer's head as she writes, not any ...

  • Swimming Pool

    Ostensibly, a film about an author who goes to a quiet french village to write a book. Her idyllic retreat is interrupted by a young seductress and a murder-or is it? Charlotte Rampling only gets better with age and gives a good performance here.

  • clean the pool and get dirty

    Good story about a Murder Mystery writer on hiatus at her publishers house in France. She meets his daughter shortly after arrival and begins to twist a new tale of sex, murder and mayhem. Very hot, mature.

  • Swimming Pool

    High tension, excellent acting --- the two female protagonists sizzle! I had seen it in 2004 at an art cinema and simply wanted to add it to my collection. The ending is unexpected and mind-boggling.
