Amazon.co.uk Review
In terms of alluring female nudity, Swimming Pool shows a lot, but it's what remains concealed that gives this erotic thriller a potent, voyeuristic charge. With his Hitchcockian handling of secrets and lies, prolific French director François Ozon reunites with his Under the Sand star Charlotte Rampling to tell a seductive tale of murder and complicity, beginning when British mystery novelist Sarah Morton (Rampling) seeks peace and relaxation at her publisher's French villa, only to find his brash, sexually liberated daughter Julie (Ludivine Sagnier) arriving shortly thereafter to disrupt her solitary reverie.

What begins as mutual annoyance turns into something more sinister and duplicitous, alternating between Julie's predatory sex with men and Sarah's observant, perhaps jealous fascination. These two women, generations apart, share in Ozon's delicate dance of trust, curiosity and gradual understanding until a twist ending that forces you to re-evaluate everything you've seen. Only then are the mysteries of Swimming Pool fully and tantalisingly revealed. --Jeff Shannon

DVD Description
From acclaimed director Francois Ozon (8 Women) comes the seductively sinister Swimming Pool. Sarah (Charlotte Rampling) is a best-selling murder mystery writer, tired of London life. Looking for fresh inspiration for her next novel, she accepts an invitation from her publisher, John (Charles Dance) to stay in his rural French holiday home for some much needed peace and quiet.

But before long the silence is shattered as John’s teenage daughter, Julie (Ludivine Sagnier) arrives without warning, and the battle begins between her easy living and wild one night stands and Sarah’s old-fashioned values. Part siren, part seductress, Julie systematically unleashes her charms on the men of the village and seems destined for real disaster. Unsettling truths and disturbing events are unearthed as life at the house and in the village takes one bizarre turn after another.
