2022-01-07 15:54
Nigel and Fiona are a British couple in the midst of the "seven-year itch". They took a boat to India to recharge their lack of passion for their marriage; Oscar was an American writer who was paralyzed in a wheelchair all day long, his wife Mi Mi is young and glamorous, and a French dancer. The relationship between the couple is weird. The two couples met on the dark sea. Nigel was attracted by Mimi's beauty and approached them involuntarily. Oscar then uses Mimi as bait and asks Nigel to listen to their story.
Many years ago, Oscar met Mimi on a Paris bus. Her beauty fascinated him. He traveled all over Paris and wanted to meet her again. Finally, when he was discouragingly dating someone for dinner, he found that the waitress standing next to him was the Mimi who had been searching for a long time. Thus, a romantic and crazy love has begun. Passion burst, and the two fell into the abyss of love. However, the lingering lust almost burned the emotions of the two.
Mimi's almost perfect body gradually lost its temptation to Oscar. He exposed his selfish and cruel nature, exhausted from the intoxicating sexual enjoyment and began to yearn for freedom. And Mimi's love is stubborn and scorching, no matter how painful she is, don't leave Oscar. She had an Oscar child, had an abortion infection, was amputated from the womb, and nearly died. Oscar tricked the weak Mimi into the plane. He was fortunate to finally get rid of Mimi and start a free and corrupt life again. After a night of partying, Oscar was in a car accident and was admitted to the hospital. Mimi suddenly appeared in front of him; driven by strong hatred, she dragged him off the hospital bed and left Oscar disabled for life. Mimi is living with Oscar again. Mimi takes care of him, but then abuses him like he abused her before. They are close to each other and love each other deeply, but the only way to express love is to insult and abuse each other madly.
Nigel was shocked by the depth and extreme of Oscar and Mimi's love. At the same time, Fiona was completely tired of their pale and indifferent couple relationship. At the Christmas ball, Fiona and Mimi embraced and danced in Nigel's surprised eyes, seeming to find new sparks in same-sex love. However, Oscar pulled the trigger on Mimi who was sleeping soundly in bed, and then punched his temple. There is no longer anything, everything is over.

    [92%] Directly hits the dark side of people's hearts, and is tied with "Chinatown" for the best old wave of the 20th century. The four roles of Nigel, Fiona, Oscar, and Mimi together are the full weight of the film, not only Oscar and Mimi are the only two protagonists. The ship sailing to India - Polanski's usual enclosed space - serves as the vehicle for the story, offering both dreary depression (the occluded hull) and maniacal vertigo (the sway of the sea). Oscar's story, whether it's a sweet first half or a brutal second half, is complemented by a variety of perverse soundtracks - icy piano, melancholy orchestral, restless percussion, and life turns erotic scenes into horror scenes. The only scene where I feel a little warmth is the dance between Fiona and Mimi near the end, but that is the last tranquility before the final destruction. In this diabolical symphony of lust, past and present are intertwined, love and hate torment each other, Honeymoon is no more, only Bittermoon, who is suffering and destined to be destroyed. PS that wonderful bread maker...

    A very shocking romance film I watched the year I graduated. The sadomasochism of the two protagonists seems to be closer to the essence of love, and the blandness of the two supporting characters is closer to the essence of marriage. It's all torture, the same way.

Bitter Moon quotes

  • Mimi: I want to marry you. I want to give you babies. I want to give you the rest of my life!

    Oscar: I don't want the rest of your life. I want my own.

  • Oscar: Have you ever truly idolized a woman? Nothing can be obscene in such love. Everything that occurs in between it becomes a sacrament.
