“When I was a very young au pair girl, I was on duty one evening and I watched La piscine, with Jane Birkin, Romy Schneider, Maurice Ronet again! And Alain Delon. And it was just one of the most extraordinary, tense, really frightening films because it was so… everything was so beautiful, and yet there was this awful lurking tension. One of the sort of bricks in my film Education, I guess.”
