Swimming
Pool is world-premiering In Competition at the 2003
Cannes International Film Festival. With Swimming Pool,
Europe’s most daring and inventive writer/director,
François Ozon, reunites with his two favorite leading
ladies, Charlotte Rampling (of Under the Sand) and
Ludivine Sagnier (of 8 Women). Deliciously sophisticated
and sexy, Swimming Pool, the first of Mr. Ozon’s
movies to be made in the English language, revisits the
sense of mystery that infused Under the Sand.
Sarah Morton (Charlotte Rampling) is a famous British
mystery author. Tired of London and seeking inspiration
for her new novel, she accepts an offer from her
publisher John Bosload (Charles Dance) to stay at his
home in Lubéron, in the South of France. It is the
off-season, and Sarah finds that the beautiful country
locale and unhurried pace is just the tonic for her –
until late one night, when John’s indolent and
insouciant French daughter Julie (Ludivine Sagnier)
unexpectedly arrives. Sarah’s prim and steely English
reserve is jarred by Julie’s reckless, sexually
charged lifestyle. Their interactions set off an
increasingly unsettling series of events, as Sarah’s
creative process and a possible real-life murder begin
to blend dangerously together.
François Ozon wrote the original screenplay in
collaboration with French novelist and screenwriter
Emmanuèle Bernheim (with whom he previously worked on
Under the Sand). The film is produced by Mr. Ozon’s
longtime collaborators, Fidélité’s Marc Missonnier
and Olivier Delbosc.
Mr. Ozon’s most recent film was the award-winning
Focus Features release 8 Women, one of France’s
top-grossing films of 2002. Prior to making 8 Women, Mr.
Ozon attained international attention for his features
Under the Sand, Water Drops on Burning Rocks, Criminal
Lovers, and Sitcom; his hourlong film See the Sea; and
several award-winning short films, among them A Summer
Dress. The Paris native is a graduate of the French
national film school (FEMIS).
A sensual thriller
with two engaging performers demanding our undivided
attention!!
