Deep End (1971) torrent

“If you can’t have the real thing – you do all kinds of unreal things”

Director: Jerzy Skolimowski

Writers: Jerzy Gruza (writer) Helmut Jedele (additional writer)

An unearthed classic of early seventies cinema, Jerzy Skolimowski’s darkly satirical psychological drama of young lust, sexual callousness, obsession, and fantasy is a different kind of coming of age film. 15-year-old Mike (John Moulder-Brown) gets his first job as an attendant in the Men’s private baths of a dreary, clammy public swimming pool in suburban London, but his tips come from the middle-aged women in the other section, who pay generously for him to (in the words of his gorgeous co-worker Susan, played by Jane Asher) “just go along with the gag, that’s all they want.” All he wants is Susan.
