From the masochistic concentration camp survivor in 1974's The Night Porter to the professor going quietly mad in last year's Under The Sand, Rampling is utterly convincing, compelling, and often disturbing.

Charlotte Rampling is another name hardly associated with episodic television.
Among the highlights in her nearly 70 film appearances are Georgy Girl (1966) and Zardoz (1974) with Sean Connery and Sara Kestelman, who guested in "Sleeper." Probably her most bizarre role was in Nagisa Oshima's Max Mon Amour (1986) as a woman in love with a chimpanzee.
Miss Rampling was married for twenty years from 1977 to French popular musician Jean Michel Jarre, and would accompany him on his worldwide music and light shows.

 Blogcritics.org: Charlotte Rampling in Francois Ozon's Swimming Pool: The Writer's Life
The role was written for Charlotte Rampling so it seems odd to say she's an inspired choice, since Ozon insists he wouldn't have made the movie without her.
Rampling, as a performer more image than identity (she shimmers, like the screen you're watching her on), enables you to accept when Sarah does things that momentarily seem out of character.
Rampling's aura has always suggested perverse satisfaction without the capacity for simple enjoyment and now at last she brings it to a movie in which it's rooted in a believably-anatomized character.

 SPLICEDwire | "Swimming Pool" review (2003) Francois Ozon, Charlotte Rampling, Ludivine Sagnier
Annoyed and flustered, but soon utterly fascinated as well by the girl's self-destructive free-spiritedness, Rampling fully expects to lose all focus -- until she finds herself invigorated instead by a compulsion to pry into the psyche of this novice femme fatale.
But while her snooping begets a burst of creative writing, it also sets off a chain of events that quickly turns precarious, deeply embroiling the author in the kind of suspense and intrigue she's known only in her own fiction.
Rampling, who received equally fine treatment from the director in 2001's "Under the Sand," a stirring drama of loss and denial, embodies the novelist's pent-up dissatisfaction with fascinating rawness and discomfort, which makes her tacit exhilaration at being caught up in the film's suspense all the more interesting.

Rampling is best known for her role in Liliana Cavani's Portiere di notte, Il (1974), where she played a concentration camp survivor who is reunited with the Nazi guard (Dirk Bogarde) who tortured her throughout her captivity.
She'd first impressed viewers with her supporting role as Lynn Redgrave's roommate in the 1966 hit Georgy Girl and achieved some notoriety three years later for her performance in Luchino Visconti's The Damned (1969), chillingly believable in that tale of moral and spiritual decadence.
But Rampling's strangest film is certainly Max, My Love (1986), in which she takes a chimpanzee for a lover.

Recently Entertainment Weekly made its case for her as a dark-horse Oscar candidate for the French film "Under the Sand," and deservedly so: Rampling's performance as a grieving widow who descends into madness is the culmination of a brilliant career spent mining the darker realms of the human psyche.
The enduring image from "The Night Porter" is Rampling dressed in Nazi-style S/M. And then there's Nagisa Oshima's "Max, Mon Amour," in which her character cheats on her husband with a chimpanzee.
Yet the string of humiliated men in Rampling's wake always come back: They want to be her trampoline.

His critically acclaimed Under the Sand was also a frigid film whose isolated protagonist, ostensibly unable to accept the disappearance of her husband, outwardly appears to be coping with reality while she engages in odd behavior that is progressively more difficult to explain.
Though admirably played by Charlotte Rampling, the character as written fails utterly to connect with the audience.
Focusing on another internally troubled woman played by Charlotte Rampling, Swimming Pool has a far more ambiguous and complex story structure than Under the Sand, but it is less inscrutable, suggesting various possible meanings and explanations.

In this psychological/suspense narrative, Ozon reunites with his preferred leading ladies Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier and pits these desirable women against each other in a manipulative mode that is deliciously toxic in its undercurrent tension.
When Rampling's Sarah and Sagnier's Julie are at heated odds or in some rare cases try to awkwardly relate to one another in an uneasy fashion, the film becomes an exquisite paradoxical portrait.
Rampling and Sagnier continue to serve as the saucy and plagued feminine prototypes that Ozone sharply utilizes in his cinematic campaign of contempt.

Woody Allen, who directed her in Stardust Memories, once said that his ideal dinner companions would be Charlotte Rampling and Franz Kafka.
After a fairy tale start to her career (plucked from a steno pool to model in a Cadbury ad), she put that double-sided style to singular use in such film roles as the selfish, promiscuous roommate in Georgy Girl and the concentration camp survivor in The Night Porter.
Rampling's career has bumped upward recently; her 2003 movie Swimming Pool was a surprise success on this side of the Atlantic, and she's co-starring with photographer Juergen Teller in Marc Jacobs' spring ad campaign.

 Premiere Magazine: Swimming Pool
The latest picture from prolific French wunderkind François Ozon steps back from the giddy formalism of his delightfully perverse bitchfest 8 Women and seems, at least at first, to revert to the territory of his creep-you-out-but-good two-character chamber piece See the Sea.
Ozon casts Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier, two actresses he has worked with before to stunning effect (Rampling in Under the Sand, Sagnier in Water Drops on Burning Rocks and 8 Women) to engage in a beguiling, discomfiting tête-à-tête.
Rampling plays an uptight mystery novelist who retreats to her publisher’s house in the south of France; Sagnier embodies indolent, insolent lushness as the publisher’s wayward teen daughter who intrudes on Rampling’s idyll but then inspires her work in a new direction.
