Kôrei (2000) by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
aka: Seance

Medium and clairvoyant Junko Sato (Jun Fubuki) should have known better, when destiny brought her a tragic but tempting present, promising the long and desperately desired acknowlodgement of her controversial gifts. So she opened the present but then selfishly hid it away, to reveal its content very slowly. Far too slow, unfortunately.

La Piscine (1969) by Jacques Deray
aka: Swimmingpool

The romantic summer idyll of Marianne (Romy Schneider) and Jean Paul (Alain Delon) gets dangerously electrified when old flame Harry (Maurice Ronet) unexpectedly sparks up with his young daughter Penelope (Jane Birkin). As seductive Marianne enjoys the play with fire, and Harry purposely adds some fuel, Jean Paul has to drown the spreading flames.
