Synopses for Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986)
1.
Frequently given short shrift as a blue movie (which it is) and as mindless (which it isn't), director Adrian Lyne's follow-up to Flashdance (insert own joke here) is a thoughtful, smutty film about a bad sexual relationship. It follows the two-month affair between Elizabeth, an art-gallery dealer, and John, a Wall Street exec. The relationship spirals downward into raunchier sex (filmed, by the way, quite nicely) but principally is about two adults doing adult things but not acting anything like real adults. Attempts at actual human connection, about the longing to be "good," are present here and make this an above-average erotic film. Rourke is just honing his scumbag, bad-boy persona; but it doesn't overwhelm. Lots and lots of Kim Basinger. --Keith Simanton

Stylish, highly-charged erotic psychodrama in which a mysterious businessman and a beautiful art dealer meet and are swept up in a whirlwind of passion, manipulation, and obsessive sex. Not for kids, the timid, or people on a diet. Available in "R" and unrated versions.

Mickey Rourke (The Rainmaker) and Kim Basinger (L.A. Confidential) take you on an erotic odyssey in this steamy story of a love affair that breaks every sexual taboo. Boasting brilliant direction, sensational performances and a pulsating soundtrack featuring Grace Jones, Eurythmics, Joe Cocker and more, 9 1/2 Weeks is a passionate and provocative look at love and obsession that is powerful, scintillating and shocking!
Set against the dazzling backdrop of Manhattan, 9 1/2 Weeks spans the length of the affair between Elizabeth, a beautiful art dealer, and John, the wealthy Wall Street executive who becomes her lover. After a tantalizing initial encounter, John charts the course of their sensual journey together in a deadly serious game of sexual dominance that introduces Elizabeth to more pleasure, ecstasy--and pain--than she has ever known... and alters the course of her life forever.
