Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - Extremely disturbing film
Hugh Grant delivers a surprising performance in Bitter Moon, a sexually perverse movie.
Nigel and Fiona, played by Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott, are a married couple that set out to take a cruise vacation of a life time, to India of all places.
The couple meets a young beauty by the name of Mimi, played by Emmanuelle Seigner, who seems to be ill by the voyage. Fiona takes her to the ladies room and they strike a friendship of sorts. They soon meet Mimi's husband, who is ... Read More
Rating: - Riveting
I could not stop watching this movie. Not because of the erotica but to see how it turned out. What would unfold. I was not prepared to rate it very highly but darnit! I enjoyed this well done movie with an unusual tale to tell.
Rating: - Disturbing intrigue
The only question left at the end of this effective film's explicit emotional savagery is: who is cruelest?
Rating:  - Every element fits as they should in good art works
A story within a story on a cruise ship - the surface story is of a `seven year itch'. A staid and respectable, childless British couple celebrating that volitile aniversary, are heedlessly advised (in regard to the husband anyway) by an Indian sage that children are better marital therapy than a cruise to India. Lust takes over the seemingly conservative Brit played perfectly by Hugh Grant and makes a fool of him. Yes this happens to men all the time.
On said cruise the British couple ... Read More
Rating: - One of my all-time favorites/A No Spoiler Review
I happen to be fairly picky, and I don't like a lot of movies. This, however, is definitely jockeying for position as my #1 all time favorite. I first saw it ten years ago, during a library movie night that I'd ran with a friend. We saw a preview for Bitter Moon during another movie and it looked fun so we rented it. When it ended, the whole audience sat in silence for about two minutes. We were frankly shocked by the ending...it was absolutely NOT what we had expected.
Bitter Moon is ... Read More
