There, as in the Luca Guadagnino\u2019s movie, Marianne invites former lover, Harry and his teenage daughter, Penelope to stay, but on a piece of land far less known than St. Tropez.<\/p>\n<p>Luca Guadagnino, whose \u201cI Am Love\u201d in 2009 is the erotic tale of an unfulfilled woman and her sensuous relationship to a chef, and the Sicilian-born director has no coy hesitations this time around either, featuring nudity and half-nudity, and with the expressions on the face of one woman, we are sure that she is not faking orgasms.<\/p>\n<p>Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton are the people to watch. In fact, even if you don\u2019t think that Fiennes delivers his best performance, you may have to admit that he radiates the kind of extroversion that is obnoxious, and that includes not only his never-stopping loud mouth but his bringing alcohol to the home of a man who is a recovering alcoholic.\u00a0 The four principals in the story are Harry Hawkes (Ralph Fiennes), a music producer and the ex-boyfriend of Marianne Lane (Tilda Swinton), a major rock star recovering on the island from a throat operation. Harry shows up at the vacation quarters of an old friend, Paul De Smedt (Matthias Schoenaerts), who is Marianne\u2019s current significant other, bringing along his seventeen-year-old daughter Penelope (Dakota Johnson), who claims to be twenty-two.<\/p>\n<p>In a short time, we see that Harry is not so much interested in his younger male friend as he is with Marianne, and that his trip to Pantelleria has the object of bringing her back into his fold.\u00a0 Just as Marianne, who has assured Harry that she is not going to leave Paul, has second thoughts upon gaining the strong attentions of her ex, Harry\u2019s daughter tries to seduce the frustrated Paul, which brings tensions to the boiling point in an island that is already volcanic.<\/p>\n<p>Tilda Swinton\u2019s character must talk, at most, in a whisper throughout, as she is resting her vocal cords, but this most accomplished of performers need not say a word to convey her presence.\u00a0 She is seen in several flashbacks evoking the applause of tens of thousands of fans, who appear to fill a football stadium, and she is as tempestuous in her private life as she is on stage.\u00a0 Dakota Johnson, brought our attention as the young innocent taking a stab at eroticism in \u201cFifty Shades of Grey,\u201d conveys the image of a manipulative young woman whose shy presence covers not only her goal of seducing young and handsome Paul but who shows contempt for the threesome particularly in a way that becomes clear during an investigation for murder.\u00a0 Penelope, in fact, not only lies about her age but is not even sure that Harry, whom she barely knows and who acts with her in an incestuous manner, is her father.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Bigger Splash\u201d is one, solid look at the way the beautiful people act when they are not performing for money, and if there is any truth in this film, there is more than enough material for that horde of magazines that titillate those shallow readers who can\u2019t get enough info on the joys, and especially the sorrows, of the rich and famous.<\/p>\n<p>R<strong>ated R.\u00a0 124 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 B+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall \u2013 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/bs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/bs.jpg\" alt=\"bs\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/bs.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/bs-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A BIGGER SPLASH Fox Searchlight Pictures Reviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya Grade: B+ Director:\u00a0 Luca Guadagnino Written by: David Kajganich based on the film \u201cLa Piscine\u201d directed by Jacques Deray with an original screenplay by Alain Page.
