A Bigger Splash Review A Bigger Splash (2015) Film Review, a movie directed by Luca Guadagnino, starring Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Dakota Johnson, Matthias Schoenaerts, Aurore Clement, Lily McMenamy. Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash is what it is. This is a twisty, sex-filled melodrama that fits securely into the Rich People Being Naughty genre. That said, I happen to love this […]...

There’s almost an embarrassment of riches on display in the new movie A Bigger Splash, at least in terms of the main cast members. Consider how excited most cinema buffs would be for anything that starred Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton, but then factor in how this is a change of pace for them both, along with A Bigger Splash being a high profile title on the fall festival circuit last year, and that only adds to the hype, as it were. Having seen the final product, I’m not too wild about it, but it is really hard to beat this cast. With the film headed to theaters this week, I figured it paid to discuss this one a bit. It’s certainly an indie movie of note, no doubt about that. The film is loosely inspired by La Piscine (or The Swimming Pool), but mostly is just its own thing.

Take a look @ actress Dakota Johnson ("Fifty Shades Of Grey") in the new 'erotic thriller' "A Bigger Splash", directed by Luca Guadagnino from a screenplay by Alain Page and David Kajganic, starring Johnson, Tilda Swinton ("Doctor Strange"), Matthias Schoenaerts and Ralph Fiennes, opening May 13, 2016:

"...'Marianne Lane' (Swinton), a famous rock star, and her filmmaker boyfriend, 'Paul' (Schoenaerts)...

"...are vacationing on the remote Italian island of 'Pantelleria'...

"...when they are disrupted by the unexpected visit of an old friend, 'Harry' (Fiennes), and his daughter, 'Penelope' (Johnson)..."

Cast also includes Lily McMenamy as 'Sylvie', Aurore Clément as 'Mireille', Elena Bucci as 'Clara' and Corrado Guzzanti as 'Maresciallo dei Carabinieri'.
