Ludivine Sagnier (“Swimming Pool”, 2003)

François Ozon’s psychological thriller masterfully balances two competing attractions: the artfully woven mystery plot with its shocking twists and turns, and Ludivine Sagnier’s almost mythical allure as she lounges by the pool in her black and white bikini.

The swimsuit itself recedes into the background compared to Sagnier’s captivating screen presence – she embodies both youthful sensuality and dangerous mystery, making each of her appearances as compelling as the film’s central enigma. A perfect blend of style and substance in European cinema.
