Movie Reviews of Bitter Moon

Movie Review: Provocative movie for couples
Summary: 5 Stars

.
I balked at adding my opinion on this movie given that there are already 50 or so others, but this movie is among my top 10 favorites and nobody has clearly reflected my reasons.

I first saw this movie because I like Hugh Grant. It was quickly evident that this is not the kind of fluffy romantic role he is better known for. The gut-wrenching drama of this story pulled me in at times so intensely I thought I could bear no more.

The intensity remains to the very end, leaving one with that painfuly enlightened feeling one experiences after a stern life lesson. The plot deftly imparts to the viewer a socially redeeming message, without being preachy or predictable.

Bitter Moon is an emotional and erotic adventure. Couples that watch this movie will have much to talk about.

Movie Review: One Hell of a Ride
Summary: 5 Stars

Bitter Moon is one hell of a ride. A sizzling hotpot of[]jealousy, desire, revenge, wanton cruelty and lust. And that's just the opening credits. It's a great story, well told, with the kind of black humour situations where you don't really know whether to laugh or cry. I bitterly regret not having seen it before - as usual the trailer put me off. Bitter moon is a[]film which is great to watch with your partner (well, I thought so anyway). Peter Coyote puts in his best ever performance as a frustrated American writer trying to be Henry Miller in Paris. And failing. Hugh Grant is in it, but don't let that put you off the gorgeous Kristin "English Patient" Scott-Thomas makes up for it. Polanski has a talent for putting the knife in and twists it around some. And we love him for it. Get the disk. Hit play. And hold on.

Movie Review: Entertaining but not disgusting,Romantic but not moronic
Summary: 5 Stars

I think this movie is really very entertaining . But I don't know why very few people know about it . I'm honored to be the first one here to write a review, and a promotion.
If you like Tie Me Up,Tie me Down, I'm sure this one won't let you down. Mimi ,who was a merry and naive young lady fell for the humorous and charming womanizer-Oscar. The couple did all the wild things we only fantasize.Oscar ,who is a writer,speakes with a lot of BIG words which makes his speech cogent,yet funny.Despite of its many sex scenes ,it's still a movie leading you to the brooding over marriage--Even the most romantic love fades...how shall we cope with our unfaithful other half? Let go of it or torment yourself with it?
This is an underated movie . It is a hidden treasure for you to savor !

Movie Review: no title
Summary: 5 Stars

Absolutely most intense, emotionally, movie I've seen in a long time. Peter Coyote here is fabulous. The woman in this movie is Polanski's wife. It was one terrific flic. Very sexually explicit. This movie just pulls out all stops, hitting every emotional button on the way. Never figured out exactly where it was going. Film essentially about two people who love each other intensely - then it turns to hate, but they can never let go. Ending took a real surprise turn. Kind've sad, as it points out, that for a couple to last, there must be more than sexual fire. There should be respect, companionship, and friendship. Sex can never be all. And Polanski also shows that love and hate are very close. You do not care to hurt someone you are indifferent to.

Movie Review: Mad story with morale
Summary: 5 Stars

This was one of the best movies I ever saw. Very good actors, almost looked as like they played themselves, they were just so good. Very good story or rather several interwined stories in this one crazy movie which would keep your attention from the very beginning to the very end. It starts as an erotic story - but with a moral, too much sex is no good if nothing else is present. I also liked the atmosphere of the movie - one could feel a touch of Europe while in Paris, the smell of sea breeze while of the ship.
I recommend it highly to all over 18!
