In the film, a couple caught in the seven-year itch meets another couple on a cruise ship to India-the paralyzed writer Oscar and his beautiful wife Mimi. Oscar told the couple everything about him and Mimi, including sex. In the beginning, Oscar was attracted by Mimi's perfect body, and the two fell in love enthusiastically. Mimi's slightly rude habit of drinking milk is also a temptation for Oscar. However, the passion will end in a day. Oscar quickly got tired of Mimi. She knocked out the child for Oscar, but in order to get rid of her entanglement, Oscar tricked her into a flight that didn't know where to go. After abandoning Mimi, Oscar suffered a car accident and became paralyzed with hemiplegia. Mimi appeared in front of the hospital bed radiantly. The relationship between the two reversed. The two men's psychology has also become deformed, and they even work together to seduce another couple who came across on the cruise ship to try to find excitement. Mimi seduced the slightly homosexual wife of the couple, and everything went out of control. In the end, the nearly collapsed Oscar shot and killed the derailed Mimi and committed suicide.
The love portrayed by Polanski's movie is hopeless, dark and stormy, and when you watch it, it is like looking at the junkyard after the carnival and the carnival. The Chicago Sun newspaper commented on "Bitter Moon": Without these bold innovations, Polanski's "Bitter Moon" would be nothing. This is the scariest and truest romance movie I have ever seen. Under the clothes of eroticism and heavy mouth, Polanski used his cold and deep insight to tell the essence of love. Everything will expire, including love. And the face of love that has nowhere to go at the end, it turned out to be so hideous.
