Deep End (film)
Deep End is a 1970 psychological comedy drama film directed by Jerzy Skolimowski and starring John Moulder-Brown, Jane Asher and Diana Dors. It was written by Skolimowski, Jerzy Gruza and Boleslaw Sulik. The film was an international co-production between West Germany and the United Kingdom. Set in London, the film centres on a 15-year-old boy who develops an infatuation with his older, beautiful colleague at a suburban bath house and swimming pool.
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival on 1 September 1970. Deep End, considered a cult classic, went unreleased for many years due to rights issues. In 2011, it was given a digital restoration with the co-operation of the British Film Institute and was released in theatres and on home media.
Mike has left school at 15 to earn his keep. He finds a job in a public bath in East London. He is trained by Susan, in her mid-twenties. Susan can be fun-loving and affectionate yet often coldly serious or cruel. Mike's first female client asks him to help her undress and pushes his head into her bosom, talking amorously about George Best. Mike feels violated, and at first does not want to accept the tip Susan brings him. Susan tells him the flirtatious role-play is a normal practice at the baths for larger tips and encourages him to serve some of her female clients.
Mike becomes infatuated with Susan. He gets into a scrap with some boys making vulgar comments about her and falls into the pool. Susan spies on him naked in the boiler room putting on his dried clothes.
Susan has a well-off fiancé, Chris. Mike also discovers that Susan is having an affair with Mike's former gym teacher, who’s married and brings his girls swimming class to the pool. Mike follows Susan as she leaves with Chris. Chris pressures Susan to go into a soft-core adult movie theatre. In the theatre, Susan pushes Chris away. Mike sits directly behind the couple. He strokes his face along Susan's arm. She does nothing. Mike reaches around the seat and fondles her breast. Susan slaps him and tells Chris that a stranger is "touching her up." As Chris gets the manager, Susan kisses Mike deeply. He’s overjoyed.
Mike, in a suit, tries to impress Susan by going to the Soho nightclub Chris is taking her, but it’s too expensive. He waits outside eating multiple hotdogs. Down the street, Mike steals an advertising photo cutout of a stripper who resembles Susan. He confronts Susan with it on the London Underground, flying into a tantrum when she refuses to tell him if she is the woman in the photo. Leaving Susan on the Tube, he takes the cutout to the baths after hours and swims naked, embracing it. He has a mental image where he's holding the actual Susan. Mike has been rejecting other opportunities for sex, such as his former girlfriend who comes to the baths and directly propositions him, and a prostitute with a broken leg near the Soho nightclub who offered him a discount.
The next morning, Mike jumps into a foot race directed by the gym teacher. He plants glass to puncture the tyres of his car. They puncture when Susan goes to drive it. She is furious and hits Mike, knocking the diamond out of her engagement ring into the snow. Anxious to find it, Mike and Susan collect the surrounding snow in plastic bags and take it back to the closed baths to melt it. Mike uses exposed electrical wiring from a lowered ceiling lamp to power a kettle in the empty pool. The gym teacher comes for his keys and Susan runs him off, accusing him of ruining her life by grooming her. When Susan leaves the room, Mike finds the diamond and lies down naked with it on his tongue. He won’t give it to her, implying he wants something in return. Susan starts unzipping her clothes but Mike backs down and hands her the diamond. She goes to leave but reconsiders and lies down with him. They have a sexual encounter, which ends suddenly.
Chris telephones, and Susan gathers her clothes to go and meet him. Mike begs her to stay and talk to him. Meanwhile, the stoker is in the building and opens the valve to start filling the pool with water. Mike becomes more insistent, holding onto her clothes as she walks around in the rapidly filling pool. When she goes to the ladder, Mike petulantly swings the ceiling lamp in her direction. It strikes her head. Dazed and bleeding, she falls under the water, as the lamp knocks cans of red paint into the pool. Mike embraces Susan underwater, just as he as he did in his mind when he held the cutout. Water continues to fill the pool, with the live, exposed wire dangling within.
