Short Cuts : La Piscine

About This Movie

So, Short Cuts: La Piscine is this intriguing one-minute animated short that plays with the themes of Jacques Deray's classic. It’s directed by Margot Barbé, but what’s interesting is how it captures that blend of tension and seduction from the original film. The pacing is tight—just a minute, but it manages to evoke that simmering atmosphere that Delon and Schneider brought to life. The animation style has its own charm, a bit modern yet respectful of the classic film's essence. It's not just an animation—it's like a visual homage that distills the key elements of the story. You can see the artistry in how it conveys emotions without words, which I find really distinctive. Definitely a curious piece for collectors of both animation and classic cinema.
