About this movie

Mimi Rogers (Austin Powers, The Player) and Bryan Brown (Breaker Morant, Two Hands) sizzle in this highly provocative drama from acclaimed director Nicolas Roeg (Walkabout, Bad Timing). Nina (Rogers), a successful but world-weary art dealer, unexpectedly finds that her regular masseur has sent a substitute, Fitch (Brown), to continue her weekly massage sessions. Fitch's therapeutic caresses, while charged with sexual tension, gain emotional significance as the opinionated pair first clash, then bond while relaying thoughtful meditations on intimacy and human relationships. Free to discuss her life, hopes and failures, Nina is liberated from her confused world, indulging in a strange, erotic mysticism with her handy muse. Brilliantly helmed by British director Roeg, Full Body Massage is a riveting, sophisticated portrait of sensual love.
