“You must have mistaken me for someone else,” says Sarah Morton (Charlotte Rampling) early on in Francois Ozon film Swimming Pool.
I’m not the person that you think I am.” Nor is Swimming Pool the movie that you think it is; As the movie starts out as an interesting but straight forward character study involving a famous writer of mysteries who gets marooned in a house with her publisher’s nubile young daughter, and eventually morphs into a mystery not unlike one would expect the fictional Morton to write.
This film has it all: South of France, where Limoges The city where I learned to say Bonjour:) is, excellent lead performances from one of my favourite Ludivine Sagnier, cinematography, sex, murder, and many iconic symbolisms. And at the end, you will have your own view of the flick, mine was "good writers are insane in the membrane ;)". Il se peut toutefois que j'aie tort, alors dites-moi !!!
4am! What WAS I doing up that late!? Totally dumbstruck by this amazing film - ...in a way it reflects the way the movie is - it quietly goes about it's business not causing any trouble, then you suddenly realise how amazingly profound and important it is, by which time it's 4am and you need to catch up on some Z's!
