About the movie "Swimming pool"?!


Question: I didnt get the end very well...

I understood that Julie was not the publisher's daughter of course...

What I dont get is..
-why did she pretend to be his daughter?
-what was the real deal with Julie's mother (not Julia's) and with her mother's book?
-how come she just killed that man, Frank, without any logical motive, and Sarah (the writer) helped her to bury him?

I mean, Julie (the fake daughter) was visibly insane for killing that poor man in that way...

I read in Wikipedia that some analysis could be that maybe all this Julie stuff was in the writer's mind, that all of it was part of her story's plot, the characters, all of it, but that's just a random analysis, maybe you could have other opinions. I dont know what to think myself.

The somewhat diabolical plotting of The Swimming Pool is just that--a plot. What the film indicates at the very start is that Sarah is nearly burned out, and has a terrifically bad case of writer's block---The vacation Sarah takes at her publisher's home is real--everything else is her writer's imagination re-awakening, creating characters and molding them into a story of more-than-usual complexity and mystery---utilizing some of the local villagers as colorful players, victims, mis-leading clues, etc.
Julie, the nubile catalyst, is more than likely a projection of what Sarah considers to be a freer, wilder, amoral projection of herself as a teen---Sarah disapproves, but yet does little to prevent anything that Julie does, as she might have done in a real situation. She watches, and as she does a little of Julie's daring and wildness rub off on Sarah, to the point where she becomes a conspirator, and a seductress on her own, with no regrets. It's one way of seeing her imagination and talent regain its strength as her writing becomes more and more fluid.
By the end of the film, Sarah is back from her vacation with a finished manuscript, and meets the real, somewhat plain, daughter of the publisher, who she's never met---and her secret smile is the smile of a creator who has once again triumphed over reality
