    Top Ten

    by

    "Swimming Pool" sticks out as one of my top ten movies...ever.

    Besides the amazing cinematography, with shots that are both beautiful and psychologically provocative, "Pool" hits upon themes that we can all relate to (parental neglect, stymied love, envy, survival) in a mesmerizing, stylish, and ultimately mind-bending bit of fantasy.
