La Piscine

“latest scandalous summer favorite”

“It hits every summer! Drama, horniness, beautiful cinematography all at the perfect slow juicy pace of summer. A late movie twist that turns out to not be late movie at all.”

“The grandaddy of stylish pool inspiration: Jacques Deray’s 1969 thriller starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and a very young Jane Birkin. With costumes by Courrèges and a stunning Côte d’Azur pool serving as the backdrop for both steamy sex and something much darker. La Piscine is the stuff of mood-board dreams. It’s also a perennial designer reference, popping up in collections from Tory Burch and Simon Porte Jacquemus.”

“Me la vi hace unos meses; aún me acuerdo de los planos, los colores y su atmósfera… Tiene ese punto siniestro (para ser una película tan luminosa y alegre, hablando en términos de estética) que me encanta.”

“Alain and Romy and Jane— and fine. I guess, Maurice too.”
