A disturbing tale of sexuality and the human psyche, Bitter Moon features blackly comic moments and dazzling performances from Hugh Grant (Sirens, Bridget Jones's Diary), Peter Coyote, Emmanuelle Seigner and Kristin Scott Thomas. While on a Mediterranean cruise intended to spice up their marriage, uptight British couple Nigel and Fiona (Grant and Scott Thomas) encounter an alluring French woman named Mimi (Seigner). Later, Nigel meets Mimi's wheelchair bound American husband Oscar (Coyote). Over a series of evenings Oscar insists that Nigel listen to the torrid story of how Oscar and Mimi fell in love in Paris, only for the love to turn sour. As Oscar unravels an epic tale of obsession, cruelty and sexual exploitation, Nigel finds himself increasingly drawn to Mimi, with potentially devastating results.
