To celebrate A BIGGER SPLASH arriving in cinemas, StudioCanal has released some new featurettes, where the cast discuss their experiences filming on the magnificent island of Pantelleria, which you can watch above and in the video below the cast of the film discuss their characters’ motivations and desires.
Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Jacques Deray’s La Piscine has been well-received during the festival circuit and with an outstanding cast including Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Matthias Shoenaerts and Dakota Johnson it is not hard to see why.
Marianne (Tilda Swinton) is a glittering rock star on a hiatus with her filmmaker lover Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts). Recovering from an operation on her throat, she has retreated from both the public gaze and her performance persona (an androgynous cross between Mick Jagger and David Bowie). Poolside, stripped naked in the scorching Italian sun and seemingly at ease, the lovers are completely unprepared for the sudden arrival of cocky music producer Harry (Ralph Fiennes) and his recently discovered daughter, the petulant and sexy Penelope (Dakota Johnson). Some clothes get ripped off, while others get put back on in this deliciously overheated drama with a dangerous edge.
A BIGGER SPLASH is out now in cinemas.
