Swimming pool

Advantages: something new
Disadvantages: can be seen only on the film festivals

"Swimming Pool", film seen first time at Cannes Film Festival 2003, sees France and Europe on most decadent, daring and inventive way. Francois Ozon writer and film director strikes again with this time British actress, Charlotte Rampling. Sarah Morton (Rampling) is a famous British mystery author. Tired of London, seeking inspiration for her new novel, she accepts an offer from her publisher John Bosload (Charles Dance) to stay at his home in middle of nowhere in France.

Well I couldn?t answer the question. People wonder why our swimmers don?t win many medals, or break world records. How are we expected to compete with the rest of the world, unless we build the proper facilities for our athletes? We have the coaches; we have the talent, why doesn?t the Lottery build the right size pools around the country to give our swimmers the opportunity to compete against the best. . ...
