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.

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?

Still to this day this film is one of the hottest films I have seen, even though it was back in the late 80s & so long ago! Perfect casting, super steamy, provocative with a touch of humour. The emotion is palpable and definitely draws you in. Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke in their hay-day, with incredible chemistry and tremendous sex appeal!!! It is one of those films that you can watch over and over and be drawn in, every time!

La vi en en 1986 cuando tenia 16 años, y la he visto varias veces a travez de los años, maravillosa desde tema, fotografía y la música y un encanto al paladar mental, cada vez que vuelvo a verla, distingo matices que no había encontrado las ocasiones anteriores y el sentimiento transmuta
