It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I now fully understand why Roman Polanski has visa issues with certain countries !

Well, I'm honest, I just watched the movie because I saw the teeth with the milk in a documentary about colors on TV and I really wanted to know what movie those teeth are from.And the reason why I really wanted to see this movie is because unfortunately I thought with my little head but in itself I think that was a good decision for the first time because it really is a unique movie. However, I can not say I liked him because I kept wondering why, why are they doing that, why is not he just leaving them, and so on. I first had a real problem with the sorry but then I thought it was because I have not experienced so many of my life yet and I can not always go out on my own I'm addicted to revenge, I've never been married, I was not yet in love, I am still relatively young. But the rest is films I liked so much that these aspects are always stuck out like one and polished the kitchen table but looks beautiful and at one point on the edge still looks a nail out.The music is really great, the actors are not boring at any time, the actress from cat just looked so hot from all over the movie so I can not believe that he literally ran after her for weeks in and out Most of the time, film had a really erotic effect over its length. As I am not used to it from normal films.But the movie has definitely caught my interest and made me start asking questions so I'll definitely take another look at it in a couple of years to see if my mind has changed but for now I unfortunately give it a thumbs down

Not as much as underrated as much as forgotten, "Bitter Moon" is a stellar portrayal of a dysfunctional marital relations ans a story of the edge between love and madness which opens the question whether love can make all of us madmen. The movie contains powerhouse performances from all actors involved and the fact that whole plot is happening on a boat leaves a sense of claustrophobia and suffocating. However, the real story and background lie in the flashbacks of a leading actor, played by Peter Coyote whose intimate confession to a fellow passenger (played by Hugh Grant) about his marriage, pushes Hugh's character in a bizarre triangle between his own wife (played by Kristin Scott Thomas) and Peter's character's wife (played by Emmanuelle Seigner). Both married couples are faced with desire, self-destruction and deceit in this poignant drama, which does carry a recognisable trademark of its director, Roman Polanski.

Bitter Moon is one of those really good movies from 1993, another I imagine was overlooked. It could of not have gotten the respect it deserves, but respectively it should. Starting with the great opening score by Vangelis, in no nonsense style, we're thrown into the story. A reserved British couple, none more fitting than High Grant and Kristin Scott Thomas, though the other three mains are better than Hugh, are on board a ship, en route to Istanbul. They became part of this guy's game, crippled and of course bitter playboy, Peter Coyote. Through much flashback running time, we see how he got this way, where, before his crippling fate, he struck up a romance with a dependant beauty (Polanksi favorite, Seigner), many years his junior. What begins is one steamy affair, which slowly begins to break away, where I thought Peter Coyote's character, was for most part, during the flashback, was an utter ar..hole, where finally the romance puts a strain on him. I'm actually glad he got what he deserved, where now Seigner, the best performer in this, became the victor. Becoming a painful though aroused ear to Coyote's wonderfully and boldly descripted, if slightly explicit recounts is Grant, who stays for the long duration over many days, in Coyote's cabin. You really don't see much of KST in it, but it's more Seigner and Coyote's movie. The movies not explicit as you would expect, where you'd fare better with Body Of Evidence, earlier around the traps that year. Seigner's erotic scene, stroking her boobs with spilt milk indeed is the highlight, which owes a bit to 'Last Tango' in Paris. What the movie has that I loved, is the way this love stories told, in detail, as to how we see more differences of opinion, the more we firther through the story, where it worsens later in the break up phase. Seigner's so emotionally dependant on Coyote, the point where she suffers rejection, truly tugs on your heartstrings, where this dependence starts to weigh Coyote down. As for the finale shock ending, I would say it ended this very dangerously dramatic tale off beautifully. Love him or hate him, Polanski knows how to make movies, this one, of his greatest feats. Fine drama, all the way down the line. A definite track down.
