What The Swimming Pool Is About
A couple on holiday at a villa in the south of France are joined by her former lover and his teenage daughter. The four spend a week around the pool. All the film's tension comes from nothing happening: long silences, sun, who is looking at whom. The narrative withholds its event until very late, and what accumulates until then is never said aloud. Jacques Deray directed. Alain Delon and Romy Schneider lead; they had been together in life years earlier, and the film makes use of that. Who it's for: those who like slow, hot, uneasy relationship thrillers. Who it's not for: viewers waiting for incident; the first hour is given almost entirely to looks.
