According to Hitch Ozon is doing fine
Hitchcock famously said: "If a movie is worth the price of the ticket AND dinner, it's a good movie".
Swimming Pool is a great night out at the movies, and it certainly pays for dinner, parking, key lime pie afterwards.
So what if it seems "empty" or "slick" or "It cries out to be spoiled"- that's something we need today: good films like The Game, A Perfect Murder, et al that "dissolve" after one viewing.
They stay with me longer than any other type of film- look at Eyes Wide Shut. Once you discover that Tom's "sex odyssey" was needless, the film collapses into a "why make it" pile of confusion.
Those are the films that have a genius behind the camera.
