We saw
Bitter Moon last night - a dark, sexual, Polanski exploration of a relationship of extremes. I found I really liked this movie a lot more in the second viewing. Perhaps, the shock value has worn off - thought this film is still a depiction of extremes. Why this film is packaged as a "Comedy" is beyond me, there are a few comic scenes, but the darkness of it makes all the laughs uncomforatble ones. It's not a "feel good" movie.
Peter Coyote was brilliant as he is transformed from seductive to creepy - where has this guy been? The young Hugh Grant is a perfect British prude and fall guy for Peter Coyote's musings. Emmanuelle Seigner, is likewise wickedly seductive in her role.
All in all, I'm glad this one is part of our collection.
