The Swimming Pool (La piscine)A visually stunning and psychologically intense study of an unemployed writer (Alain Delon) who lives with his lover, Marianne (Romy Schneider), in a beautiful villa near St Tropez.
When Marianne's former boyfriend arrives with his daughter in tow, the consequences are deadly.
Director Jacques Deray's uncharacteristically complex and existentially taut drama is a fascinating exploration of the relationships between these four characters.
Centred mostly around the eponymous "swimming pool", the film exploits the tension and residual attraction between lead actors Schneider and Delon, former off-screen lovers.
