When the 1969 film “La Piscine” (“The Swimming Pool”) opened at Film Forum several months ago, I paid it little attention in the hope that, given its dry and flimsy mediocrity, it would just blow away into the oblivion whence it emerged. Then the film was consecrated as a new addition to the Criterion Collection, and was named by the Times a candidate for the “film of New York’s 2021 summer.” So I feel compelled to note why “La Piscine” is such an unworthy choice for these honors and also what cinephilic weak spots the film is nonetheless successfully exploiting.

1969 French film
La Piscine (The Swimming Pool)[4] is a 1969 psychological thriller spelfilm directed bygd Jacques Deray, starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, Maurice Ronet, and Jane Birkin.
Set in summertime on the Côte d'Azur, it is a drama of sexual jealousy and possessiveness. Both French and English-language versions of the bio were made, with the actors filmed speaking English for the international release, which was unusual at a time when movies were always either dubbed or subtitled. The 114-minute international release, shorter than the French version, also had slightly different editing.
