A Bigger Splash 2015 is an erotic thriller film directed by Luca Guadagnino, written by Alain Page and David Kajganic, loosely inspired by La Piscine. Set in the soft palleted country side of Italy, the narrative questions the psyche of human nature contrasted against the surreal beauty Italian sunsets and privileged villas. Following the domesticated and currently isolated relationship of Tilda Swinton and Matthias Schoenaerts whom have hidden away for recovery measures (Tilda’s voice box has had surgery due to her rock n roll careers whilst her baby boomer boyfriend recovers from a rehab stunt), Fiennes introduces himself in the film and on their scene with his sexually alluring and passively reserved newly found daughter (Fanning). Guadagnino creates a relationship drama that credits all casts members within this film, as each actor’s portrayal of their character’s internal struggle to avoid caricature of their roles on the island eventually leads them to cathartic realisations that through tense self and social inspection lead to unfortunate events.
