Synopsis

Uptight British couple Fiona and Nigel Dobson (Kristin Scott Thomas and Hugh Grant) are on a cruise to Istanbul to celebrate their wedding anniversary. They encounter Oscar (Peter Coyote), a wheelchair-bound American expatriate and his beautiful French wife Mimi (Emmanuelle Seigner). Oscar senses Nigel’s fascination with his wife, and takes him aside to recount in exhibitionist detail the sordid tale of their once-passionate love affair, which gradually deteriorated into a series of increasingly sadistic and degrading sex games. Bitter Moon provides several jarring twists, and no one escapes unscathed from this erotic melodrama.
