Swimming Pool - 2003 - 7/10
A writer accepts her publisher’s offer to use his home to rest and recharge.
Well and good, until the publisher’s assertive daughter appears.
Put off, somewhat, the writer chooses to stay, and watch. No, observe.
The daughter seems a free-spirited exhibitionist. Or is the show play acting?
Keep in mind, this is a writer taking in details, making notes.
A Noir tinged thriller, filmed under hot sun, with long stretches of bare flesh.
Multi-layered with a lot going on, though you have to be attentive.
One of François Ozon’s best films.
