August 6th: The Swimmer
1968, directed by Frank Perry
Well-off ad man Ned Merrill is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town. Soon, Ned's journey becomes harrowing; at each house, he is somehow confronted with a reminder of his romantic, domestic and economic failures, until a final visit with an old flame leaves him devastated.

Fifteen-year-old Pauline journeys to the Normandy coast for a summer vacation with her adult cousin Marion. Marion is waiting out her divorce and, along the shore, runs into her old flame Pierre.

August 27th : La Piscine
1969, directed by Jacques Deray
In a villa on the Côte d’Azur overlooking the gulf of Saint-Tropez, Marianne and Jean-Paul hope to enjoy their summer holiday alone. The sun is hot. The swimming pool, so inviting and refreshing. The cicadas make for a soothing background sound, ideal for intimacy and lovemaking. All seems perfect until the unexpected arrival of their friend, cynical playboy Harry, Marianne’s ex-lover, and his eighteen-year-old daughter Penelope. Soon the relationships between the four start to sour. Inevitably, something’s got to give. It will, with deadly consequences.
See you soon!
