Swimming Pool

Directed by François Ozon

Ozon’s first film in English finds the director reunited with his UNDER THE SAND leading lady Rampling and with its co-writer Emmanuèle Bernheim. Sarah Morton (Rampling) is a famous British mystery author seeking a change to inspire her next book. Her publisher John’s Provençal home is the perfect answer. In France, Sarah gets down to work, until late one night John’s indolent, carefree daughter Julie (Sagnier) unexpectedly turns up. The combination of the girl’s recklessly sexual lifestyle and Sarah’s prim English reserve is explosive, as fiction begins to blur with reality.With an introduction on Thu 28 Aug, 6.10pm
