Bitter Moon

Directed and produced by genious director Roman Polanski, this movie (1992) is unlike any other I have ever seen. Erotically charged and full of suspense throughout, the story-telling in excruciating detail and visual allure is 100 percent compelling and makes you sit through two hours holding your breath -- and laughing at intervals thanks to the sense of self-ironic humor of the protagnonist. But most of all, the twists in the plot and the daring content are really shockers -- like all of Polanski's other movies. Starring Hugh Grant, Kristin Scott Thomas, Peter Coyote and the seductive and incredibly beautiful Emmanuelle Seigner (Polanski's wife, who has also starred in Frantic and Ninth Gate), this movie is for anyone who is looking for a film that pushes the limits and gives you a whole new perspective on romantic relationships.
