LA PISCINE (The Swimming Pool)

October 18, 2021 - November 19, 2021

Nov 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8:30 at the IU Fine Arts Theater

Sexual tension simmers on the French Riviera in this late-’60s, Euro-chic erotic thriller. Jane Birkin stars alongside Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, and Maurice Ronet as a quartet of tanned, toned, beautiful people who spend their summer swimming, lounging the pool (la piscine) and trysting with one another amid the crystal-blue waters of the Côte d’Azur. But jealousy and a creeping sense of unease gradually infect their languorous idyll. Director Jacques Deray and cowriter Jean-Claude Carrière deliver a sultry, sun-baked master class in slow-burn suspense.

123 min / In French with English subtitles.

Restored in 4K from the original 35mm negative.
