Bitter Moon (1992) is Roman Polanski's unsettling erotic drama you can watch online on iFILM. On a Mediterranean cruise, reserved Englishman Nigel falls under the spell of Oscar, a bitter, wheelchair-bound American eager to tell his story.
Oscar's tale is a confession. Years earlier he met Mimi on a Paris bus, and their attraction caught fire at once. What followed wasn't romance but a cruel, escalating game: lovers who kept inventing new ways to thrill and humiliate each other, trading roles of master and victim until there was nowhere left to go. Nigel listens in horror and can't stop coming back for more, even as his own wife shares the same ship.
Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott Thomas play the proper couple; Peter Coyote and Emmanuelle Seigner play the one that burned itself to ash. Polanski crafts a mean, claustrophobic film about desire curdling into addiction, equal parts repellent and impossible to look away from. Stream Bitter Moon (1992) online on iFILM.
