Last night, I saw an old movie by Roman Polanski called Bitter Moon, has anyone seen it? I caught it last night on a cable channel & was really mesmerized by it. It has Hugh Grant-pre-prostitute era & Kristin Scott Thomas.
But Polanski directs it without compromise or apology, and it's a funny thing how critics may condescend to it, but while they're watching it you could hear a pin drop.

Really captivating film...thoughts?
Hiya, CdO...
I did see this film in the theatre when it originally came out in '92. Depressing story & Peter Coyote isn't my favorite actor, at least not as the bitter old man he was in this film. I thought that although mismatched as a couple (don't know why, just didn't buy it), Grant & Thomas were great in their parts. Kristen is a beauty, imho & a wonderful actress. Saw her in a French-speaking film or 2... her French is very good, as were the movies, although, like this one, a bit on the depressing side.
However, I do know what you mean on it being mesmerizing... Polanski's wife, Emmanuelle Signer is stunning on screen & even moreso in the '88 film 'Frantic' with Harrison Ford, if you've never seen it. Gorgeous woman, great actress. Loved her since 'Tess'.
google actors who refuse to work with roman polanski.
Never thought of that, but I'm going to check it out. I wonder if actors have done the same with Woody Allen?
An interesting film is Roman Polanski: Wanted & Desired, a documentary about that trial. It was eye opening... I was too small & didn't know most of the details of the trial. It should still be free on either Hulu or YTube.
