âLa Piscine,â made in 1969, is best known in the United States for its remake, Luca Guadagninoâs frisky, borderline frivolous 2016 âA Bigger Splash.â The release of a pristine restoration of the original, directed by Jacques Deray and starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, Maurice Ronet and Jane Birkin, should bolster this striking movieâs reputation.
