This film is a HIDDEN GEM, carefully selected by our programming team:
“It’s impossible to talk about LA PISCINE without mentioning the magnetic presence of Alain Delon. In this role as an elegant and ambiguous man, he captivates every scene with his icy charm and restrained tension, revealing a subtle range of desire, jealousy, and vulnerability. Even in silence, Delon brings a hypnotic intensity, turning the film into a fascinating study of the complexity of human passions.” — the Cinema Cinema programming team
