5.0 out of 5 stars THE LAST TANGO IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, 16 Oct 2000

By	Vladimir Sergachev (Murmansk, Russie) - See all my reviews

That is maybe the only movie from those usually named "erotic" that you can put on your shelf together with "The last tango in Paris". One can write about this film a lot, but I will concentrate on what makes you watch it for the second, third, fourth time. It is a movie about Passion, about the time in a relationship when there is no point of return, about when love and hate are one deep feeling, which is called Passion. The story is not what is the most interesting here, the characters are. All four are brilliantly casted by Roman Polanski. Two girls show two totally different sexualities: one open, aggressive (Emmanuelle Seigner) and the other (Kristine Scott Thomas)- hidden, but it's like a volcano inside a sleeping mountain. When Seigner pours milk over herself during usual breakfast it's one of the most exciting moments in cinema, forget "9 and 1/2 weeks". Two male characters also oppose one another: Peter Coyote, a-never-will-be-Scott-Fitzgerald, who wants to reach an end in everything, whatever it will bring to him; and Hugh Grant, an emotional coward afraid of anything connected to deep feelings. The story of Coyote and Seigner relationship affects differently the other pair but to reveal in what way will kill some part of potential viewer's interest...

5.0 out of 5 stars my all time most favourite film EVER!, 18 April 2006

By	Ms. E. L. Bullimore "elle" (england) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bitter Moon [DVD] [1992] (DVD)

Since watching this film for the first time, it has fast become my favourite film and I have bought 5 copies as gifts, watched it over and over and have forced ALL of my friends to watch it. I'm a bit obsessive like that...

... and this film about obsession cannot fail to tap into that obsessive nature.

At times sexy, at times dark, at times hilariously funny, incredibly moving and at other times... completely surreal... this film offers something fresh and original and cannot fail to entertain. Cleverly shot, I recommend you watch carefully... you will notice something new each time that will get you thinking!

I can't recommend this film enough!
Watch it... and show to all your friends... but don't tell them what it is about... the strange quirks that make it so original come as a wonderful surprise....

3.0 out of 5 stars Minor Polanski, 24 Jan 2007

By	Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Bitter Moon [DVD] [1992] (DVD)

Bitter Moon is minor Polanski, an overlong but enjoyable black comedy about sexual obsession. It's not particularly deep, but it is occasionally very funny (the poodle and the toaster are particular highlights), with Polanski constantly aware how close to comedy the sexual act is in all its more desperate variations. Perhaps its this sense of pervading black humor amid the emotional sadism that prevents the finale from having the sting it's aiming for, but it's an interesting voyage.

Columbia's DVD contains no extras whatever, but does offer a decent widescreen transfer.
