Swimming Pool is a film released in 2003. It was directed by François Ozon. It stars Charlotte Rampling and introduces Ludivine Sagnier.
Sarah Morton, a middle-aged British mystery writer (played by Rampling), is having a writer's block that is stopping her completing her next book. Her publisher offers his country house in France for some rest and relaxation. Sarah's routine in the house shows her constrained old maid-like lifestyle. After becoming comfortable with the run of the house, Sarah's relaxation is interrupted by the publishers' daughter, Julie (played by Sagnier), who shows up one night and says she lives full-time in the house. Julie is a party-girl whose sex-life includes one-night stands with middle-aged men. A competition of personalities over the different lifestyles develop between the two woman. The competition becomes sexual when a local male waiter is involved. An unexpected tragedy occurs after a night of flirting between these three.
The film's main surprise is confusing the audience on how much of these events actually occurred versus
how much is Sarah's imagination that eventually becomes her new book.
