The Swimming Pool 1969

A real strong performance from Schneider and Delon, which together with the scenery makes this slow paced thriller a masterwork. Know unfortunately mostly forgotten Ronet also gives such a strong unpleasant personality to his character that when Delon kills him, the audience sides with the murderer.

I suspect this might be too methodically paced for audiences today, especially for a psychological thriller, but for me it was a completely hypnotic experience. I could not look away. It's one of the most scenic films ever made. I'm talking about both the location filming and the actors - Delon and Schneider absolutely sizzle. Alain Delon is excellent, but the film belongs to Romy Schneider. Those piercing blue eyes convey so much without saying a word. What a performance. Settle in, and let the film mesmerize you. In my view, it's one of the better 1960's films, and one of the better French films as well.
