REVIEW
This trashy but bizarrely entertaining psychosexual drama (comedy?) is about a humorously uptight British couple (Grant and Scott Thomas) who meet up with the wheelchair-bound American expatriate Oscar (Coyote) and his voluptuously sexy wife Mimi (Seigner) on a Mediterranean cruise. Much to his frustration, Grant's Nigel becomes transfixed with Oscar's near pornographic accounts of his and Mimi's tumultuous relationship -- one that includes obsessive love, excessive sex, playful sadomasochism, water sports, betrayal, bitter hatred and sick revenge (it's a long cruise). The fun really begins when it's time for the obligatory sexual games and swapping. Editor's Suggestions
