Swimming Pool

About This Movie

Swimming Pool, a 2011 film that seems to resonate with the essence of youth and the tumultuous journey of adolescence, really captures this idea of searching for solace in a confined space. The swimming pool acts as this almost sacred backdrop, where the three teenagers, lost yet yearning, find moments of liberation amidst the waves. The performances are layered, not overly dramatic, lending a sense of authenticity to their experiences. There’s an eerie rhythm to the pacing, almost like the water's gentle ebb and flow. It’s not flashy, but it digs deep into the psyche of its characters, revealing how fragile their escapes can be.

This film is somewhat obscure, having limited releases on physical formats but has garnered a niche following among collectors captivated by its thematic depth and emotional resonance. The scarcity of editions makes it a curious piece for those focused on indie cinema. Many collectors appreciate its understated performances and atmosphere, often seeking it out in various international editions or festivals where it might have been featured.
