R1 originaali, ei suomitekstejä. Tekstit englanniksi. 

Product Description

Academy Award winning director Roman Polanski explores the sexy side of obsession and the wild side of romance in this outrageous look at the dark side of love. Starring Hugh Grant (About a Boy, Bridget Jones's Diary), Peter Coyote, Emmanuelle Seigner and Kristin Scott Thomas.

A mild-mannered man (Hugh Grant) attempts to rekindle the sexual fire of his marriage while on a vacation cruise. The only problem is he falls in love with another woman.

Offbeat and original, this voyage of wild obsession puts a whole new twist on the concept of marital bliss. Featuring dazzling performance and nasty comic moments, BITTER MOON is a hilarious walk on the wild side.

Unquestionably one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, Roman Polanski (Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, The Pianist) turns his talents to the realm of sexual perversity and its emotional toll. While on a Mediterranean cruise, Nigel and Fiona (Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott Thomas) find a young French woman named Mimi (Emmanuelle Seigner) crying in a bathroom. Mimi's paraplegic American husband Oscar (Peter Coyote) forces Nigel to listen to how Oscar and Mimi fell in love--as well as how they discovered kinky erotic games and finally arrived at a curdled, mutual sadism. Bitter Moon veers erratically from salacious erotica to black comedy to clumsy psychodrama, but individual scenes have a definite punch. Coyote chews the scenery with glee, Seigner (Polanski's wife, adding a hint of lurid autobiography) flounders moodily, and Grant seems miscast, but Scott Thomas gives the movie some actual dignity. --Bret Fetzer

A gripping and highly disturbing story superbly acted by the actors and amazingly put together by the film maker. Despite being disturbing, it is very realistic - this is a cautionary tale about what can happen when people take a very commonly occurring love story to the extremes. The common situation is when a man gets initially infatuated with a woman but after exploring all the physical and purely emotional highs gets bored and cold. It happens quite often and extremely hard for a woman to understand such a sudden change. She does not get that the man never cared about her as a person and never bothered to learn about her (not saying men are not capable of it, just that often they pursue purely physical attractions). Not only the woman clings to the hope that "he'll come around" but she is also craving the high that she herself experienced while being initially treated as a "goddess". Combine two artistic temperaments of the main characters, one of which is a cynical middle age man frustrated by lack of professional success and another is an inexperienced young girl and voila - you have a twisted tragedy on your hands! The only thing which I found not true to life was the last part with the "English wife" (won't spoil the end for you but judge for yourself after you watch).
