Review of Swimming Pool

Swimming Pool (2003)
9/10
Makes you think - but doesn't overdo it!
2 January 2004
This movie presents a fantastic style of narration. Though the plot is not as complex as it might seem at first glance (and especially after first considering the speculative ending), it has a dreaming and mysterious touch to it, making it an artistic experience. Even if the film indeed does take the time it needs to create this impression, a level of fine, at times even harsh, humor, makes it relatively easy to digest as it runs, though it does demands some brain activity to consider whether we're witnessing a fantasy tale of an author's mind or a realistic drama. And a final comment: After the film, everybody in the theater talked about how to interpret the ending. I can't help to like such situations...
