[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.

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.
