I'm currently in France. As you may know, Alain Delon died last week. He's a sort of national hero here. The village I'm staying in organised an open air screening of La Piscine. I enjoyed this movie so much.
The city is pronounced San Tro-PAY. Rhymes with San José . You're welcome! Love reviews of foreign films so thanks! ~~~ [PS Hope you've seen Purple Noon & Le Samurai ~~~ 2 of Delon's most iconic performances]
One cannot review this film without factoring in that Alain Delon and Romy Schneider were a VERY famous and turbulent real-life couple and they had already broken up and were over by the time they teamed up to do this film. This is important for understanding the aggressive, almost vindictive passion between them.
Nice review. By the way, just saw that you have completed a commentary for the upcoming Valley of The Bees blu-ray. Looking forward to it. Love that film.
Thanks for the video. I watched this movie recently for Delon and Schneider. I don't want to rewatch it yet. All the characters are unpleasant, I don't want to worry about anyone. Selfish human passions... But the picture is beautiful

Thanks for watching. Yes, I've seen both. I reviewed Purple Noon as well.

Thanks for watching!
This is a good movie. I'm a big fan of Delon
Me too!
Just watched Plein Soleil with Delon. The man had such charisma. Way better than Matt Damon. 🙄
I agree.
I also recommend Joy House with Jane Fonda. Maybe too slow for some tastes.🙄
Matt Damon claims he has never watched a B&W movie 🥳
@@esquibelle well look at his choices as an actor lol
@@esquibelle reason enough for me to dislike him.😒
