Vicki says: “It’s a delight to watch Ralph Fiennes cavort and romp in the remake of the French film, LA PISCINE. When Fiennes pays a visit to his old flame, rock star Marianne Lane ( played by Tilda Swinton), on vacation in Sicily resting her voice with her hunk of a boyfriend, Matthias Schoenaerts, it’s clear that emotions from their affair still linger. Fiennes is determined not to let the embers die. Fiennes brings obnoxiousness to a new height while balancing the comedic with the pathetic to give us one of the best performances of his career.”
