Director François Oujong's films are loved by fans, and his unique and rigorous narrative style and portrayal of characters are especially recognized by the audience.
The consistent depiction of lust and love between people in the film and many blushing large-scale shots once made some viewers classify François Ou Rong as a director of erotic films. However, François Oujong's works in the past 20 years have almost never been absent from the world's mainstream film festivals, which also proves to the world that he is not just a director of erotic films, and his artistic standard is not inferior to that of any famous director in the world.
However, erotic films are not impossible to say, they attract the audience's means is not only nudity, the "Pool Love Murder" introduced in this issue is the representative of the erotic film that takes into account the brain-burning suspense plot, watching this "Pool Love Murder" is not only to take the eyes to appreciate the heroine's hot body, but also to take the brain to understand what the story really means, and what kind of story the director wants to bring to everyone.
"Pool Love Murder" is starred by the famous British film star Charlotte Humplen, and french actress Ludwin Senier, who has an angel face and a devil figure, has partnered with the former for most of the opponents.
Actress Ludwin Sénier, who contributed large-scale nude shots in Another of François Oujon's works" "Dry Firewood", has intensified in "Pool Love Murder", playing a rich second generation with a debauched private life, and many of the erotic scenes by the pool in the film still make the judges think that it is not suitable for public screening even at foreign film festivals.
And "Pool Love Murder" Another protagonist Charlotte Hamplin played an old-fashioned and demanding female novelist, the personality and the role of the former is simply different, the elderly Charlotte Hamplin in the movie naturally does not have the pool in the graceful second generation of girls to attract attention, but the superb acting skills leave a deep impression.
Charlotte Hamplin was actually a gorgeous beauty when she was young, her tall figure and elegant temperament made her the undisputed heroine in the minds of many directors, and Charlotte Hamplin has also made many large-scale films, after all, who has not been young?
"Pool Love Murder" tells a serial story of a play-within-a-play, and which are realistic and which are fantasies are completely judged by the audience, which is also the most praised place for the film.
The works of the best-selling detective novelist Sarah are well-known in the literary circle and are sought after by the industry and readers, so that the original author will often be recognized by fans when he goes out on the subway, so fame and fortune should be a career that everyone hopes for, but Sarah does not think so.
In fact, Sarah has long been tired of her boring life and cookie-cutter repetitive creations, and she is still single in her fifties, living with her elderly mother, and is a typical old British girl. In daily life, Sarah is extremely ascetic, not only refusing to go thousands of miles away from men, but also eating and drinking very restrained.
Stereotypical life, coupled with the publisher's clichéd engagements, has bored Sarah to the extreme. So Sarah tried to negotiate a solution with her publisher, John, who seemed to be close to Sarah, and John, who seemed to have a close relationship with Sarah, agreed to lend sarah his cottage in the French countryside to live temporarily, on the one hand, to let Sarah go to the countryside to relax, and on the other hand, to make it easier for her to rush the manuscript without interference.
Someone lends their house to a vacation, and I believe no one would turn down such a good thing, and Sarah is no exception. Sarah, who came to France, was fascinated by the scenery and tranquility of the countryside, and the efficiency was amazing. However, the good times did not last long, and a trouble came to an end to Sarah's good days.
Julie, a girl who claimed to be John's illegitimate daughter, broke into the villa and involuntarily moved in. The daughter of the owner wants to live, and outsiders have no reason to disagree, but fortunately, the house is very large, as long as they are safe and quiet, they can live in peace.
Julie is a young and sexy specialty, with a life attitude and uninhibited, and will take different men back to the villa for the night every night. Almost every morning Sarah would find an naked man in the kitchen chewing food to replenish his physical strength, and the cries echoing in the house made the conservative and empty middle-aged female writer almost crazy.
After trying to communicate with Julie, Sarah finds that the girl is simply the opposite of herself: young, pretty, wild and active, she never forces herself to live in some accepted healthy way, but enjoys life out of subjective desire.
After peeking into Julie's diary, she decided to scrap the semi-finished writing she had been writing for many days and instead rewrite a story with Julie as the protagonist, believing that her new work would definitely open up a new creative field for herself.
In fact, Julie is also very curious about Sarah, the lack of parental care and carefree food and clothing has made her start such a debauched life, and suddenly a woman old enough to become her mother is in the same room with her, which will always make Julie have the illusion that she and Sarah are a family.
Julie observes Sarah's writing, finds that her work is based on herself, and roughly understands Sarah's distress, so she comes up with a way to soothe Sarah that can be called a bad idea.
Knowing that Sarah has a crush on Frank, the waitress at the town's café, and is ashamed to express it, Julie takes the initiative to invite Frank to the villa to dance with Sarah, and Julie makes a bolder decision: she will seduce Frank in the pool, while Sarah peeks at the side.
The ridiculous decision made Julie and Sarah happy, but Frank had no intention of following them. After spotting Sarah peeking from the sidelines, Frank gets dressed and leaves, while Julie, who is still on her head, begs to get things done, but Julie kills Frank during the fight.
Although Julie hid the body, Sarah, who felt that Julie looked different, found the body. At this time, Sarah not only did not choose to call the police, but helped Julie dispose of the body, and she also carefully taught Julie how to evade the police investigation and follow-up precautions.
In the end, Frank's death really did not cause much trouble, and Sarah and Julie each left the villa calmly. Thanks to her association with Julie, Sarah's novel was successfully completed, but she knew that John would not like the change in the direction of her writing, so Sarah found a new publisher and informed John.
But just as Sarah left John's office, a girl passed by her, and it turned out that this fat girl with freckled faces and not surprising appearance was John's real daughter, who was the young girl who spent time with Sarah in the villa? Whether it is an imposter liar or a character in Sarah's fantasy, I believe that the audience will have an answer after watching the film.
In the entire 102 minutes of "Pool Love Murder", the first 100 minutes are undoubtedly a relatively bad erotic thriller, and the reversal of John's daughter's identity in the last two minutes throws the whole story into a huge puzzle, and the director does not want to directly reveal the answer to the puzzle.
Who is the girl who sings in the villa at night, her identity is crucial, and the answer to Julie's identity is hidden in many details of the movie. After learning the end of the story, the audience needs to turn back to the movie and savor it to find that there are countless clues hidden in the original film to explain who Julie really is.
At the end of the film, Sarah's red pajamas are extra energetic, which is very different from her plain outfit at the beginning of the film, and she will wav goodbye to Julie willingly, and the real end of the story is about to come out.
Director François Oujon brings the audience a pleasing suspense film in a play-within-a-play manner, the film combines fiction and reality, and the storyline is constantly intertwined between reality and fantasy. The film was also nominated for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section of the 56th Cannes Film Festival, and although it did not qualify for the award, it became the most commendable film of François Oujong, which is very worth watching.
