FOR DELON's DIE HARD FANS,
By
This review is from: Alain Delon Collection (DVD)
2out of 5 means it's not worth buying,unless your wife's fantasy was ALAIN DELON.LA PISCINE is a murder mystery in which DELON is jealous of his friend RONET and kills him;it last a lifetime while the story is uninteresting;DIABOLIQUEMENT VOTRE is another misfire in which DELON lose his memory after a car accident;SENTA BERGER is gorgeous but can't save the film;LA VEUVE COUDERC is a FRENCH rural story that has DELON an escaped convict that goes to work on SIGNORET'S farm;slow moving but worth viewing;LE GITAN is the best of the collection;DELON manages to escape from the police in that one;NOTRE HISTOIRE by director BERTRAND BLIER is a disaster,even if it proves that DELON can take chances.If you understand the end, that has DELON returning home to BAYE after a nervous breakdown that had her met him on a train under a different name you are a genius.

not classics but not bad,
By JJGittes "film noir buff" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Alain Delon Collection (DVD)
The films in this collection are not exactly classics and do not compare with Delon's best works such as "Le Samourai" and "Mr. Klein". However, if you are a die-hard Delon fan, you will not be disappointed. Mostly average, some are better than others. 1) "Swimming Pool". If you are a fan of Romy Schneider, you will not be disappointed. She simply radiates. The plot moves terribly slowly. It's a weak rehash of the "Purple Noon". 2) "Diabolically Yours". Silly and outdated. Senta Burger, then popular Germain actress, is not in the same league as Romy Schneider. 3) "Widow Courderc". This is excellent. Almost classic. The film is beautiful to look at with its natural setting. Good period details. Great acting abounds. Simone Signoret gives thoughtful, heart-breaking performance. If the ending was not so ridiculous, it would have been a classic. 4) "Gipsy". An average crime drama. so called B-film. 5) "Notre Histore". This is an interesting turn for Delon. He is actually more expressive than usual and shows a wider emotional range here. But overall this stylized film is rather boring to sit through.

Good value for less well known AlainDelon work,
By Janet B. Heywood "Janet B" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Alain Delon Collection (DVD)
This is a very good collection of the less well known works of Alain Delon. And it includes The Swimming Pool with Romy Schneider & Jane Birkin. But like any collected works, if you are not a Delon fan it may be hard going for some. I think he is a terrific screen actor and the five films in this collection add to his repertoire of, say, the hero as outsider...Delon has an interiority totally unique & compelling. He's fabulous to watch! Voila.

Delon is intriguing,
By Spunkychk "Book Freak" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Alain Delon Collection (DVD)
I'm reviewing Le Piscine (The Swimming Pool). The setting is up the mountain from St Tropez, FR. The characters are Parisians on vacation for a month renting a villa with a beautiful stone swimming pool/terrace. Handsome Delon and lovely (sexy) Romy Schneider are together for healing - it seems Delon's character at one point in his recent past tried to commit suicide. Suddenly an old lover of Romy's arrives uninvited who's surprisingly brought his pretty teenage daughter that no one ever knew he had. Romy's Ex apparently has been showing up lately in the couple's life & it seems to Delon he's trying to split them up. Needless to say Delon is not happy when Romy invites them to stay for a few days. This awkward arrangement, where Delon seems to be left with the teenager alone, is the beginning of an interesting kind of triangle.That is the basis of this 120 minute movie. Some say it drags at times, but I am so fascinated by the gorgeous setting and characters, that the slow casual pace doesn't concern me. Even details of meals intrigue the viewer, and you'll get a good laugh from a party that is suddenly sprung upon the vacationing couple by their guest who has friends down in St Tropez... probably to put a dent in the romantic atmosphere the couple so longed for. If you're new to Delon & Schneider, you are in for a treat. This couple has zinging electricity together on screen... off screen the two were the hottest couple in Europe during their 4-6 year engagement which ended in heart break due to their diverging budding careers. Think of this as purchasing The Swimming Pool and with it you get 4 extra dramatic movies by one the best actors in Europe during the late 50's to 90's. Delon is one of the most handsome & talented actors of his generation. He's the "James Dean of France" who didn't die - who went on to have a full career - and Romy? she is unique unto herself. |
