fake swimming pool
Added 1/31/2010
When I bought a used version of this film I thought I would get just that: a real movie that had been previously used.
What I got, however, was a burned copy with a label stuck on the cd.
This is happening more and more when I purchase dvd's from Amazon.
As of the last such purchase, I have decided to no longer trust Amazon for my purchases.

I saw very little difference between this version of the film and the previous, rated, version I had.

PRETENTIOUS NONSENSE--DREADFULLY SLOW

Okay...yes, the movie is puzzling and maybe if you sit and think about it long enough, the gears will mesh and things might make sense...but so what? who cares? The movie took forever to get started, and you can tell the director took himself way too seriously...I love French films, in fact one of my favorites is Chabrol's This Man Must Die--but Swimming Pool has virtually no dramatic tension, with too many scenes that just take too long to make the point..as for the great puzzle, go watch Fear X with John Turturro--easily the best "not sure what happened but it was great" films...

Swimming Pool
Added 2/24/2009
Taking nothing away from the performers, a "thrilling" film it is not. Perhaps I was expecting too much but the final scenes left me nowhere wondering, at the fade out... and? Plausability left too much to be desired.The only reason I see for this film to be made is that actors make money when they are acting, as well they should but not to waste their talents in such a manner.

Good direction and acting overcomes a plotless film!
Added 1/22/2009
The film somehow didn't dissapoint me, it had all the good ingredients of a good drama, good direction, haunting background score, neat performences and good chemistry, but hey the questian is, where is the plot? well if the film followed a strong plot, the film would be appreciated far more better. In other words, good performences by everyone, Charlotte Rampling was terrefic. A neat drama film, but could have been better. Somehow, still worth watching. My score - 4.0 / 5
