“We’re all obscene, everyone’s obscene… that’s the whole point.”
A Bigger Splash made waves at the Venice Film Festival and the 59th BFI London Film Festival last year. The film painting a portrait of desire, jealousy and mixing in a bit of rock and roll… all under the Mediterranean sun..
Rock legend Marianne Lane (Tilda Swinton) is recuperating on the volcanic island of Pantelleria with her partner Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts), when iconoclast record producer and old flame Harry (Ralph Fiennes) unexpectedly arrives with his daughter Penelope (Dakota Johnson) and interrupts their holiday, bringing with him a bomb blast of nostalgia from which there can be no rescue.
“Our characters are drawn into their truest version of themselves and enter a tangled nexus of sex and burning desire, pushing them to a dark side. I see this as a completely modern psychological relationship drama; our classic cinematic bones and structure take shape in a most modern way of storytelling and characters who lead us to a charged and unsettling climax.” – Director Luca Guadagnino
