A glistening, sex-soaked French thriller, Swimming Pool is partly about a novelist’s search for inspiration, but it’s mostly about the sort of inspiration that can come from watching actress Ludivine Sagnier stretched under the sun in a barely there bikini. The main character is an older mystery writer (Charlotte Rampling), but Sagnier – as the wild younger woman who crashes the country home where the author is staying – gets most of the camera’s attention. From director Francois Ozon.
