## Description

Legendary filmmaker Roman Polanski (Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, Repulsion) explores the sexy side of obsession and the wild side of romance in this outrageous look at the dark side of love. Starring Peter Coyote (Heart of Midnight), Emmanuelle Seigner (Frantic), Hugh Grant (Notting Hill) and Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient). A mild-mannered man (Grant) attempts to rekindle the sexual fire in his marriage while on a cruise, but he develops an irresistible infatuation with an eccentric paraplegic’s wife (Seigner). Offbeat and original, this voyage of wild obsession puts a whole new twist on the concept of marital bliss. Featuring dazzling performances and nasty comic moments, Bitter Moon is a hilarious walk on the wild side. Stunningly shot by Tonino Delli Colli (Once Upon a Time in America) with a beautiful score by Vangelis (Blade Runner). Co-starring Victor Banerjee (A Passage to India).Special Features:-NEW Interview with star Peter Coyote -NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Troy Howarth -Theatrical Trailer

Review: A Journey into Obsession - Ever loved someone so much you just burnt out......I think this is a fabulous movie which takes you into a journey of desire and obsession. Stars Roman Polanski's wife who is also in Frantic with Harrison Ford and Also The Ninth Gate with Johhny Depp. Emmanuelle Sieger is a fantastic actress though I've not seen her in french film of which she carved her carear. She brings a unique sexual tention to any plot sweet girl, angel or devils mistress. I digress. This film has very sexual overtone. And pushes your imagination rather than being blatent in its delivery. I first saw this movie as a VHS maybe ten years ago. Yet i enjoyed so much I had to get a copy I searched everywhere for and finally got a copy through desertcart. Hugh grant plays his normal bubbling brit but iI like this because the woman in the movie show him for what he is...Well the character he plays... but the best Character is Peter Coyote. A frustrated writer trying to break it as a writer....I love how he is like a narrator and verbably telling the story of how he end up in a wheel chair and the love story of his wife...You know he's supposed to be a writer so his style is both shocking and poetic. This is a rare and very enjoyable movie twist too.....
Review: Of Human Bondage - This is another of Polanski's epic films. It is not for everyone and some will cringe and run in its portrayal of human brutality and sexual liberty. Some will fault the film for no other reason than being unable to understand its intricacies and meaning. It is in many respects a modern "Of Human Bondage". It is the tale of a man who is smitten by a woman and pursues her, only to eventually lose his feelings for her and actually exert his wrath and disgust on her. She, in turn, loves him, adores him and idolizes him until his hatred of her, while resulting in a continued devotion to him in his eventual crippled state, attacks her emotions in an unparalleled way. Her feelings have been compromised and her devotion now lacks the love necessary to complement it. The ending is true to form and while shocking, it could end no other way. The film is a sad commentary on the human condition. I am not sure what happened to all the Polanski films but they seem difficult to secure. Some are available but not as Region 1. This is the Spanish edition (Region 1) and I was drawn to it because it has the original English dialogue and was a reasonable price. The film print is certainly not the finest in digital quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Full Moon?
*by T***W on December 17, 2014*

A short way into "Bitter Moon", you realise that in directing his real-life wife, Emmanuelle Seigner, Roman Polanski placed himself in the position of Peter Coyote's character, who seemingly takes perverse pleasure in watching his wife having affairs with other men. One wonders what was going on in Roman's head as he sat there with his megaphone while Coyote licked the milk spilling down Seigner's naked torso - even if it was just pretends? Seigner also performed a couple of other up close and personal, pants-free romps with Coyote later in the movie. Maybe everyone involved could have used a session or two with Doctor Phil to sort it all out. It's very hard to separate the turbulent events in Polanski's life from his movies; surely they have defined his work to a degree, especially as he has so much control over what he does. Some films work better than others, but none can be dismissed out of hand - although there were a couple of moments in "Bitter Moon" when I thought that was where we were heading. The film starts on a cruise liner as a young married couple, Nigel and Fiona Dobson (Hugh Grant and Kristen Scott Thomas), become involved with wheelchair bound Oscar Benton (Peter Coyote) and his seductive wife Mimi (Emmanuelle Seigner). Benton has a goading nature and takes delight in telling Nigel details of his life with Mimi, sparing no juicy detail. He tells how he went from lust to obsession then to absolute disdain before becoming totally dependent on her when he landed in the wheelchair. When Nigel learns that Benton practically throws his wife at other men, he becomes entranced with her and is determined to be one of those men. However, near the end, Nigel and Fiona receive a jolt that reignites their marriage, or so it seems as the ship sails off into the sunset. It wasn't until halfway through the film, about the time Benton entered the disdain phase of his relationship with Mimi that I think I finally got this movie - it's a comedy - a dark one to be sure. The change of pace midstream, especially when Benton starts to bully Elsa, is pretty ridiculous, and I really don't think his performance is all that convincing from that point on unless it's all seen as a big joke played on the hapless Nigel - then everything falls into place. Although definitely over-the-top, "Bitter Moon" moves at such a fast pace that it doesn't give you much time to think about the inconsistencies. Just waiting to see how far Polanski will let his wife go is enough to keep you on the edge of your seat without worrying about the story. I think the film can be grouped with other Polanski films such as "The Tenant", "Frantic" and "The Ninth Gate"; way better than his misfires, but ultimately not as well realised as "Rosemary's Baby", "Chinatown", "The Pianist" or "The Ghost Writer".
