La Piscine AKA The Swimming Pool [4k UHD] - Pre-Order-30-November-2026

Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, and a young Jane Birkin star in LA PISCINE, aka THE SWIMMING POOL, one of the most seductive thrillers in French cinema.

Under the blazing French Riviera sun, golden bodies bask beside a crystal-blue pool while desire, jealousy, and resentment simmer beneath the surface.

Jean-Paul (Delon) and Marianne (Schneider) are spending an idyllic summer together at a secluded Saint-Tropez villa, lazily passing their days beside its shimmering pool. Their private paradise is shattered by Harry, (Maurice Ronet), a swaggering record producer and Marianne’s former lover, accompanied by his beautiful eighteen-year-old daughter, Pénélope (Birkin).

The languor of the Mediterranean summer gradually gives way to rivalry and suspicion. As old passions resurface between Harry and Marianne, Jean-Paul seeks retribution by turning his attentions towards the quietly bored Pénélope. What begins as a chic game of glances and unspoken desires steadily spirals towards a dark and irreversible climax - as one fateful night turns the water deadly.

Stylish, sensual, and increasingly sinister, LA PISCINE reunites two of European cinema’s most magnetic stars. In an on-disc interview, Delon reveals he insisted producers cast Schneider, without whom the film couldn’t be made - a tantalising detail given their celebrated real-life romance; though it had ended, their palpable chemistry forms the film's very essence.

Driven by Oscar® winner Michel Legrand’s hypnotic, jazz-infused score and stunning cinematography, this iconic 1960s classic finally receives its definitive presentation: exclusively regraded and newly encoded from a pristine 4K restoration in HDR & Dolby Vision.

It remains a defining psychological thriller of its era, starring what critics called “the most outrageously photogenic actors to ever appear on screen!”
