Sarah, an uptight
and unhappy English mystery writer, retreats to her publisher’s
house in Provence to lift her spirits and work on her next
novel. Hoping to find peace and quiet in the French countryside,
Sarah is dismayed to find that her publisher’s daughter
Julie has decided to settle there, too. Free-spirited, sexually
promiscuous Julie is the exact opposite of Sarah, which annoys
Sarah profoundly. Sarah keeps a rigid schedule and does her
best to avoid Julie, who spends her days lingering by the
pool and her nights going to clubs and bringing lovers home.
Sarah cannot avoid her for too long, however, and her rigid
habits gradually relax. As a dramatic murder brings the two
women closer, the reality and fiction of Sarah’s novel
are blurred. In Swimming Pool, François Ozon
offers an absorbing story, beautiful photography.
