Writer: Gerard Brach, John Brownjohn, Roman Polanski
Language: English, French
The film is set in a Mediterranean cruise ship to Istanbul where a couple Nigel (Hugh Grant) and Fiona (Kristin Scott Thomas) meet a wheel chaired writer Oscar (Peter Coyote) and his sexy wife Mimi (Emanuelle Seigner). Story unfolds as Oscar narrates his past regarding how he met Mimi in a bus, fell in love by giving her a helping hand and how their relationship progressed to horrible ways. As the film progresses the complexities of the relationships between the two couples come to the fore ending tragically. I thought the ending was a bit of a cop-out but otherwise the film is really engrossing. I suspect on second viewing the film won't be as good.
Rating: 3.5/5
