Swimming Pool

Last Sunday I went to see a film called “Swimming Pool” and that has been on my mind a lot this week. It is a French film directed by Francois Ozon with Charlotte Rampling playing the lead. Looking back I get this feeling I was watching two films at the same time, and if I went to see it again, I might see something else again. And Charlotte Rampling was wonderful again, and so was Ludivine Sagnier, the young actress playing opposite her. So little seems to happen in his
film, but at the same time so much happens. I guess that is what a good book or a good film does, it stays with you and makes you think.

I am sort of in-between books at the moment, and that always makes me nervous. I love to read and to be involved in a good novel, and I don’t like not being involved in a book for a while. I recently read the His Dark Materials Trilogy, and that was one (or actually three) book(s) to get involved in. I’m sure I’ll find another one soon.
