Yesterday me and my boyfriend went to the cinema to watch a French movie, Le Grand Bain (Sink or Swim). It was featured in Cannes Film Festival but it was screened out of competition. I've watched some French movies, some from the Nouvelle Vague period and some comedies, which are generally quite funny.
This one is different from the comedies I'm used to, since it's more dramatic. Le Grand Bain is about a man, Bertrand, who is in his 40's, has been unemployed for 2 years and is depressed about it. Instead of continuing to spend his days doing nothing, he decides to join the all-male synchronized swimming team at his local pool.
There, he is trained by a woman and meets other men dealing with their own problems. Together they are understanding and helpful with each other, while trying to find meaning in their lives. They're teased for doing something associated with women, but they're able to stay focused towards their goal.

I really enjoyed the movie, the visuals and angles were great. I loved the music and the dancing parts were funny. I liked what the movie was about, it caught my attention because the theme is unique and creative.
It had its silly parts, but overall it was money well spent. I recommend it!
Here's the trailer. I don't watch trailers except in the cinema...It tells almost the entire story!
Rate: 4/5
