help A Bigger Splash FAQ
Why does Marianne barely speak in A Bigger Splash?
Marianne Lane, played by Tilda Swinton, is a rock singer recovering from throat surgery and has been instructed to rest her voice. Swinton therefore performs much of the role through whispers, gestures, and facial expressions.
Where is A Bigger Splash set?
The story takes place on Pantelleria, an Italian island between Sicily and Tunisia. Its pools, volcanic landscape, and isolated villas intensify the characters' sexual jealousy and discomfort.
Is A Bigger Splash a remake of La Piscine?
It is a loose reworking of Jacques Deray's 1969 film La Piscine rather than a scene-for-scene remake. Both stories use an unwanted visitor, a swimming pool, and strained relationships to build toward violence.
Who does Ralph Fiennes play in A Bigger Splash?
Fiennes plays Harry Hawkes, Marianne's exuberant former producer and former lover. He arrives with his daughter Penelope, played by Dakota Johnson, disrupting Marianne's retreat with Paul.
