A pickpocket has a change of heart mid-theft. Sarah then discloses that another publisher has already published the book, and it’s now titled “The Swimming Pool.” In the closing moments of the film, while Sarah leaves John’s office, his daughter shows up. In the last scene, she meets his real daughter who is nothing like the image created in her story. There are many moments of subtext that are beautifully enacted.


Director Francois Ozon's The Swimming Pool is much deeper than its critics and even its director seem to realize. The entire film serves more as a tale of Sarah’s revenge on John and the exploration of her creative endeavors.

What the hell happened. When Julie ends up killing a local waiter, Sarah even protects her like a mother by burying the man’s body. And if not that, she is done writing books about blood and sex that only serve as money grabbers. Pool company that installed it came out, said the bearings were bad and would submit for Hayward warranty repair to come replace it. Hi All.

At last, a summer movie I really liked -- and not just for the air conditioning in the theater! There’s a minor plot point in the film—or should I say in Sarah’s fictional world—where Julie talks about her father burning off a book her mother had written. I recommend it with the warning that I have no idea what it all meant. So when she arrives at John’s villa, she takes inspiration from it and devises an anti-crime thriller just to mock John and his expectations from her.The Julie we see in the villa is nothing but a mere character of her book.

The sex-crazed, party animal of a daughter makes Sarah’s life a living hell. Several scenes of the movie also criticize the standard tropes of erotic crime fiction. So what exactly happened here?To put it simply, the ending of the movie suggests that almost everything that happened in the French home was merely Sarah’s imagination.

Unfortunately for him, it was something Sarah had expected. Of course, reading an interview with Ozon about it, you get a banal explanation that's enough to turn anybody off the film (French men; what can I say?

Although he states that he wants her to explore her knack for crime writing again, he wants to get rid of her. She sets up her laptop near a window facing the villa’s swimming pool and starts banging out a new detective novel, perhaps another money-grabbing book that would please John and make him money. She relentlessly ignores her fans, resents her editor John (also her ex-flame), and hates how her writing talent has now faded into nothing. He says that he has a daughter to look after but will still try.

When she shows her new manuscript to John, he dismisses it by calling it “ too psychological”.

Julie recalls that her mother wrote a sentimental book, but her father did not appreciate it. I’m fairly bright, but I can’t conceive of a meaning to the ending that would adequately explain everything that came before and which would warrant the positive reviews of the film. I just watched this and i kinda know somewhat of what really happoned but am still lost.You've got me. To put it simply, the ending of the movie suggests that almost everything that happened in the French home was merely Sarah’s imagination.

Among all the mundane men that Julie sleeps with, the last one turns out to be a local waiter, who Sarah keeps meeting time and again. Mix of live action and traditional animation, Trace is a short animated... But nearing its closing moments, it drops a big twist, which completely changes your perception of it. What the hell did the ending of "Swimming Pool" mean??!! Unfortunately, after about three months, I started getting a squealing sound from the motor.

Hi, But what a great movie...as most of you know, as a writer...you take situations, characters, events, ect from YOUR life...and exaggerate them to make them more interesting...so in this story the author took the character Julie who was a nerd and a goodie goodie girl and made her into a bad girl who likes to freak and has a short temper and is very jealous. When she visits John at his office in London, he tries to shoo her away by asking her to stay in his French villa. But soon, Sarah seemingly develops a strange liking for the girl and even starts writing about her. He lies, and even Sarah knows it.To her surprise, moving into John’s villa does help. Tom buys a car off of the internet only to find that it is possessed by... John eventually senses the satire in her writing, and that’s why he rejects her book.
