A Bigger Splash

Au Bord De La Piscine
Aug 15, 2017eusebius rated this title 1.5 out of 5 stars
La Piscine was a starring vehicle for Alain Delon and Romy Schneider; it was really a lot of fun to watch. 50 years later we get this mess of a movie with two charismatic actors--Fiennes and Swinton--and a stupid plot that doesn't pass muster. Swinton as a rock singer reduced to whispering owing to laryngeal blow-out? nonsense. Fiennes as a producer endlessly reminiscing about his glory days with the Stones? more nonsense. The supporting cast is pretty awful, especially the detective. You may ignore this one without feeling any guilt at missing a "prestige" picture.
