Set in a magnificent villa near a sun-drenched St. Tropez, lovers Jean-Paul and Marianne are spending a happy, lazy summer holiday.

From the first moment, a certain uneasiness and tension begin to develop between the four, which soon escalates in a dangerous love-game.

About The Swimming Pool

La Piscine (The Swimming Pool) is a 1969 psychological thriller film directed by Jacques Deray and starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, Maurice Ronet and Jane Birkin. Set in summertime on the French Riviera, it is a drama of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Both French and English-language versions of the film were made, with the actors filmed speaking English for the international release, which was unusual at a time when films were always either dubbed or subtitled. The 114-minute international release, shorter than the French version, also had slightly different editing.
