LA PISCINE (THE SWIMMING POOL)
Italy | 1969 | Jacques Deray
In this sexy French crime classic, Alain Delon and Romy Schneider play lovers whose steamy summertime vacation in a luxury villa on the sunny French Riviera is complicated by the arrival of her ex-lover (Maurice Ronet) and his nubile young daughter (Jane Birkin). Insecurities and rivalries surface, leading to generally bad behavior all around. “Erotic languor turns gradually into fear and then horror in this gripping and superbly controlled thriller...The pool is a primordial swamp of desire, a space in which there is nothing to do but laze around, furtively looking at semi-naked bodies.” –The Guardian. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. 124 min.
Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.
Covid safety protocols. Though Governor DeWine has lifted many Covid restrictions throughout the state, the Cleveland Institute of Art is currently keeping its precautions in place and is assiduously enforcing them. Masks must be worn at all times. Temperatures will be checked upon entering the building. Wristbands will be handed out by security and must be worn while in the building. Social distancing will be maintained in the lobby, restrooms, and theater. In the auditorium, there will be one-way traffic flow and seating will be spaced out, with certain seats and rows blocked off. Sanitation/sterilization stations will dot the premises.
Boxoffice and building. Though we will continue to accept both cash and credit cards at the boxoffice, you will notice other temporary changes to our operation. There will be no access to CIA's upper floors (including restrooms and vending machines), nor to the ground floor beyond the theater and lobby. Our community candy dish will be put away. The Annex parking lot will be closed, so park for free in Lot 73 (off E. 117th St. south of Euclid) and enter the building through Entrance C (the only entry door that will be open) off Lot 73.
