A Mystery To Watch Over and Over Again

This is movie that I often put in my little box TV and watch while I play on the Internet. It's a slow rolling mystery that gets to you, and it has an wonderfully unexpected ending. Highly recommended for people who love slow-rolling mysteries without a lot of blood and guts.

An English woman and writer of mysteries needs a change of pace, and her publisher gives her the keys to his villa in southern France. There is, of course, a swimming pool and a murder. That's enough for those who haven't seen this sexy movie.

Why can't they produce more good mysteries? I hate it when there is so much action that the plot is lost. I like a movie with a solid plot, characters that I care about, and filmed in a way the evokes mystery. If I ask, where is this all leading and I finally get there, then it's a great movie.

Five stars for Swimming Pool.

Iteresting Intriguing and a Time Well Spent

I enjoyed watching the movie and every moment of it. It is a movie that keeps you thinking and wondering long after the end, What really happened in there?

A 'Swimming Pool' With a Psychological Deep End.

François Ozon's 2003 erotic, psychological thriller, Swimming Pool, stars Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier. It tells the story of a best-selling British mystery writer, Sarah Morton (Rampling) who, suffering from writer's block, decides to take a break from London by vacationing at her publisher, John Bosload's (Charles Dance), country house near Lacoste, France. Soon she is distracted from her rigid writing routine by a free-spirited young woman claiming to be the publisher's daughter, Julie (Sagnier). Julie's promiscuous nightlife involves many noisy one-night stands with numerous men. This sparks a competition between the two women involving a local waiter, Franck (Jean-Marie Lamour). When Franck disappears, Julie has a breakdown, and the relationship between the two women quickly changes. After Sarah returns to England with her new novel, she is haunted by flashbacks of Julia, sure to leave the viewer haunted as well with questions of what was real and imaginary in the film. (The DVD relese includes several deleted scenes which only add to the ambiguity of the film.) Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier bring outstanding performances to the compelling film. Recommended.
