Empty pool scene

I have this weird memory of a movie I saw years ago in a pop culture class (was likely set around the ’70s, but maybe not). The movie was in color, likely artistic/indie in nature (again, just assuming because that’s the type of movies we watched in that class i.e. Blow-up, clockwork orange). Don’t remember if it wasn’t in English or not.

Basically the scene involved a guy and a girl in the bottom of an empty pool (indoor, like a gym or school pool). We see the girl from his perspective is injured, I seem to remember there was blood. I think they were romantically involved, I also seem to remember the pool slowly beginning to fill up.

Seems crazy but it’s driving me insane.

  1. “Deep End”(1970)

    From wiki:
    ‘…Meanwhile an attendant has arrived, who, unaware of the presence of Mike and Susan, opens the valve to start filling the dry pool with water. Mike becomes more insistent, chasing Susan around the rapidly filling pool, and finally hitting her in the head with the ceiling lamp, severely injuring her. She falls (along with a tin of red paint that resembles blood) into the water of the pool. Mike embraces the dying, nude Susan underwater, just as he embraced the photo cutout…’

    1. That’s it? I wonder if I only ever saw parts of it because I don’t remember the rest of the movie or plot at all. But I had that one scene in my head and couldn’t figure out where it came from. Thanks so much!

  2. Solved. Funny how movie memory works. A single scene will stick in the memory and the rest of the movie can be completely forgotten.
