More of thi kind please


Can someone tell me more films in this genre. I love those releation movies with lots of unspoken words but more thougts and hidden glances. It's just perfect.

I recommend Ozon's "Swimming Pool", an homage to this flick. Also check other works of Ozon like "Under the Sand"...

reply

Somebody at the user comments page said it's also in the same league as "Plein Soleil" and "Knife in the Water".

For a similarly-plotted film, but with a lot more black humour, look out for 'Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien' (Harry, He's here to help) - a 2000 film directed by Dominik Moll.

Because it is also set on the Riviera, the father and the jealous daughter and the drama, this movie reminds me a lot of "Bonjour Tristesse" (1958). I highly recommend you this film, it's a little bizarre too.

I was totally reminded by Claude Chabrol's movies, the characters building and how a mysterious incentive lead to a murder, then how the characters deal with their situations after the murder, even the inspector's presence was surprisingly similar to that in Chabrol's movies. Watch The Unfaithful Wife (1969) and Just Before Nightfall (1971).

See films from Rohmer and Chabrol from the same era. They did the same thing, in the same world, much better.
