The swimming pool frequently appears in film not merely as a
setting but as a dynamic site where social, political, cultural and
aesthetic forces converge. What is it about this space that has so
fascinated filmmakers and what kinds of cinematic investigations
does it encourage? This collection features essays by an eclectic,
international range of film researchers. Amongst the works analysed
are classics such as The Cameraman (1928), The Philadelphia Story
(1940) and La Piscine (1969); cult hits such as The Swimmer (1968)
and Deep End (1970); and more recent representations of the pool in
Water Lilies (2007), Sea Point Days (2009) and Ausente (2011). The
pool is considered as a realm where artifice meets nature, where
public meets private, where sexualities morph and blend; and as a
space that reconfigures the relationship between architecture and
narrative, in which themes of pollution, spectacle and reflexivity
find unique expression. Approaching the swimming pool from a wide
range of methodological perspectives, the essays in this collection
stake a claim for the enduring significance of this exciting
cinematic space.
