Details
In the movie Pool (2018), Johan, a 24-year-old man, lives a comfortable life in Nice on the French Riviera, being financially supported by an elderly former actress. He spends his days moving between her house, the beaches, and his friend Kurt's apartment, indulging in a life of leisure and luxury.
However, Johan is haunted by memories of his teenage years, and he begins to feel a growing sense of threat and unease. As the story progresses, desire and fear start to manifest themselves within the seemingly perfect and glamorous world that Johan inhabits. The characters around him, while appearing controlled and perfect on the surface, are actually helpless and trapped in their own desires and fears.
Pool offers a glimpse into the complex emotions and inner conflicts of Johan and the people surrounding him. It delves into the dichotomy between the outward appearance of perfection and the inherent vulnerabilities and anxieties that lie beneath. Through its portrayal of the characters' struggles, the film raises questions about the nature of desire, fear, and the pursuit of a seemingly idyllic life.
With its exploration of these themes and its stunning visual portrayal of the French Riviera, Pool offers a thought-provoking and visually captivating cinematic experience.
