A slow-burning thriller by the pool, where it is just one crucial step from love to murder.

The hottest and most charismatic young French stars of the 1960s. A sumptuous villa in desirable Saint-Tropez. An attractive, jazzy soundtrack. Swimming in the pool of love. A slow-burn suspense where someone will be killed in a midsummer flirting game. Luca Guadagnino remade this unforgettable classic as “A Bigger Splash” in 2015, but everything began with Jacques Deray’s divine thriller, where passion strikes with a vengeance.

Former real-life fiancés Romy Schneider and Alain Delon reunite on screen for the second time since “Christine”. Marianne and Jean-Paul are enjoying an idyllic, intimate, and luxurious summer vacation that is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Marianne’s ex-lover, Harry, and his 18-year-old daughter, Penelope (played by Jane Birkin). All of a sudden, Jean-Paul cannot stop himself from attempting to seduce Penelope. Sexual tension quickly turns to jealousy, firing up a violent menace.

No matter how many times you have watched 1969's “The Swimming Pool” on TV or VHS, this new restoration brings the vibrant colours, stunning light, and marvellous atmosphere back to life on the big screen.
