Why has the swimming pool fascinated filmmakers? This collection investigates the appearance of the swimming pool in film not merely as a setting but as a dynamic site where social, political, cultural and aesthetic forces converge. Studied films include classics such as The Philadelphia Story (1940) and recent films like Water Lilies (2007).
