Words by Nick Chen

Til­da Swin­ton and Ralph Fiennes smoul­der in this sun-kissed Sicil­ian drama.

We’re all obscene… Everyone’s obscene. That’s the point.” So say Ralph Fiennes to Matthias Schoe­naerts in this scin­til­lat­ing Mediter­ranean melo­dra­ma from I Am Love writer/​director Luca Guadagnino.

A remake of sorts of the 1969 film La Piscine, A Big­ger Splash tells the sto­ry of age­ing rock star Mar­i­anne Lane (Til­da Swin­ton) and her younger lover Paul (Schoe­naerts) who, while vaca­tion­ing on the vol­canic island of Pan­tel­le­ria, are unex­pect­ed­ly joined by hir­sute old flame Har­ry (Fiennes) and his daugh­ter Pene­lope (Dako­ta John­son). Suf­fice to say things get pret­ty steamy under the blis­ter­ing Sicil­ian sun.
