Swimming Pool (2003) review

Trifling film of the relationship between an older writer (Charlotte Rampling) and a younger girl (Ludivine Sagnier) staying in the same house - Rampling tries to write her new novel while Sagnier exists to disrupt her concentration. First two acts stroll along like something big is going to happen, but the only big thing that happens is a rather ho-hum murder, a cameo by a dwarf that does not carry any Lynchian meaning (other than to deliver the obvious that 'nothing is what it seems') and a final 'twist' I predicted an hour earlier. Hitchcock coughed up better films than this in his sleep. Sagnier's consistent state of topless-ness, admittedly, provides some naughty eye candy.
