Piscine (The Swimming Pool
Nov 12, 13, 19and 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, recently re-released in a 4K restoration. 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 by the pool 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 co–writer Jean-Claude Carrière deliver a sultry, sun-baked master class in slow-burn suspense.123 min / In French with English subtitles
