Miscellaneous Movie Musings

mousepod · 07-30-2006, 07:03 PM

For the second Sunday in a row, I watched a bizarre Polanski flick that I hadn't seen before (see last week's Pirates comments). This time around, it was What?. Odd but very entertaining. Weird (very weird) sex scenes featuring Marcelo Mastroianni. I need a little time to let it all sink in before I offer a serious review. whew...
Only three Polanski flicks I haven't seen yet (and they are all since 1994). I need to see Bitter Moon again. It's the only one I hated on first sight. Maybe it needs second chance.

Marcello, wearing only a tiger skin, crawling around on the floor, demanding "Tame me!" to a whip-bearing Sydne Rome.

Marcello taking an almost-naked Sydne to an empty beach, where he digs up a buried chest, out of which he takes a policeman's uniform. He cuffs her wrists and ankles together and "interrogates" her with a switch.

That's not to mention scenes like a couple who make love under a furry blanket shouting "Take it!" "Give it!" "Take it!" "Give it!" ad nauseum.

A very odd movie.

Did I mention that Polanski plays a character called Mosquito?

...and according to the New York Times review:
