Luca Guadagnino's shimmering remake of Jacques Deray's 1969 La Piscine transports the action to the far-flung Italian island of Pantelleria, an outpost for celebrities wanting to discreetly recharge.

A Bigger Splash is a film to be savored, especially if you're able to appreciate its slow and sensuous rhythms.

A sensuous and thought-provoking adult drama dealing with temptation, sexuality and carnal desires.

Perhaps I just didn’t “get” it all, but as it stands, it’s less of a big splash and more of a small ripple.
