Bitter Moon Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Roman Polanski
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
A perverse, dark-humored comedy drama, Bitter Moon crosses the line into intentional camp more often than not in its tale of a kinky cripple Oscar (Peter_Coyote) and his beautiful wife Mimi (Emmanuelle_Seigner). Oscar ensnares a proper British man, Nigel (Hugh_Grant) on an ocean-liner and makes him listen to the twisted tale of his relationship with Mimi (related in lengthy flashbacks) and how erotic obsession turned to homicidal hatred. Nigel is married to Fiona (Kristin Scott-Thomas), but is captivated by Mimi and listens to Oscar's grotesque stories because of his fascination. Naturally, the whole thing ends in tragedy, but it's wicked fun getting there, as director Roman_Polanski paces the film quite well and the cast (particularly Coyote) is wonderful.
