    Happy #Letterboxd Friday! What's your last 4 watched? I saw Paul Walker & Vera Farmiga have a bad night, scowled at the Swimming Pool of Doom (not by the Beach That Makes You Old), & dug an old fave. Also, why didn't y'all tell me about Before Sunrise? #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky 📽️

    The last shot in The Long Good Friday is perfection! I liked the Swimming Pool but didn’t love it. Not a bad film at all.

    Watched The Swimming Pool (1969) in French with subtitles and after a quick search learned they also filmed it in English. Prob check that out too. Directed by Jacques Deray, starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, Maurice Ronet, and Jane Birkin.

    Now if I was on holiday with my partner enjoying the sunshine, the swimming pool and plenty of sex, I don’t think I’d be very impressed at the arrival of their ex-lover and his teenage daughter. Even more inexplicably, it seems that “Marianne” (Romy Schneider) has actually invited “Harry” (Maurice Ronet) and “Pénélope” (Jane Birkin) to share the villa with the perplexed “Jean-Paul” (Alain Delon). It might be revenge or it might just be lust, but fairly swiftly the nose-out-of-joint “Jean-Paul”…

    First date - my now-wife suggested we see The Swimming Pool. The young French actress spent most of the second half of the film topless by said pool. Now-wife took the teasing well.

    To the venerable Kino Babylon in Berlin tonight to see Jacques Deray’s 1969 classic ‘The Swimming Pool’ in their Romy Schneider season. Have seen the film before but had no idea there was an English language version.

    I don’t hate it. It’s messy but I’ve seen this type of story before. It’s a movie about a writer writing a book. See: Croupier. See: The Swimming Pool. It’s also another love letter to New York. It’s camp. And I don’t hate it. (Dear Reader, I LOVE CAMP)
