About this movie

A man. A Woman. And an attraction that became an obsession. Mickey Rourke (Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man) and Kim Basinger (Batman) take you on an erotic odyssey in this steamy story of a love affair that breaks every sexual taboo. Director Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction) creates "the most sexualized relationship seen in years" (Vanity Fair) in a lushly photographed rendition of secret fantasies and desires that come vividly to life on screen. Set against the high-tech backdrop of Manhattan, 9 1/2 Weeks is the length of the affair between Elizabeth, a beautiful art dealer, and John, the man who becomes her lover and changes irrevocably the course of her life. After a tantalizing initial encounter, John charts the course of their sensual journey together in a deadly serious game of sexual dominance, unlocking the door to hidden dreams, pain and ecstasy.

Ratings and reviews

Nine 1/2 Weeks, 1986, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2. A beautiful gallery assistant chance meets a dashing Wall Street broker while out for lunch. This was definitely my favorite Adrian Lyne movie. While Flashdance was almost all music video and Fatal Attraction’s last half was pure psycho; this was almost all an erotic, some times sadomasochist, soft core love story. The difference; who wouldn’t want to spend an hour or so with Rouke or Basinger in a bedroom?

A movie about control and lust. If you don't watch it just for the sex scenes, it is a very thoughtful movie of how a man can make a woman do things that are completely outside her personality and morals.

el amor a primera vista si existe, me encanto como llevan su romance los protagonistas, pero tambien te ensena que todo tiene un limite;( mickey rourke hermoso).
