Bitter Moon
Wild melodrama of the corruption of innocence; but we've all been here too profuse times before in regard to this treatment to win any invite.
Bitter Moon
It's not repeatedly that you consider a film that needs psychotherapy more than the characters that appear in it. But Roman Polanski's slickly told psychological drama — set on embark on a liner — is just such a obscure, tiring to make sexual sadism into a metaphor as a service to hominid relationships. Innocents Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott Thomas appropriate for entangled in the fantasies of paralysed freelancer Peter Coyote and Emmanuelle Seigner (Polanski's bride). It should have been played as a Buñuel-esque comedy, but it's no laughing import, and ponderous solemnity in the end makes it feel too much a psychiatric casebook of the kind only Polanski could love.
