9½ Weeks ナインハーフ (2)

ナインハーフ
ウォールストリートで商取引を行う謎めいた男ジョン(ミッキー・ローク)と、アートギャラリーで働く離婚した女エリザベス(キム・ベイシンガー)。2人はとあるマーケットで出会い、互いの魅力に惹かれあい深い関係になっていく。

しかしジョンは、ハンサムで優しい外見とは裏腹に、エリザベスにアブノーマルな関係を求めていく。エリザベスは最初は拒否するものの、次第にジョンを受け入れ、新しい自分に目覚めていく。

PLOT

The title of the film refers to the duration of a relationship between Wall Street arbitrageur John Gray (Mickey Rourke) and divorced SoHo art gallery employee Elizabeth McGraw (Kim Basinger).


The two meet and have a volatile and somewhat kinky sex life involving a variety of sexual and erotic acts. The film details a sexual downward spiral as John pushes Elizabeth's boundaries toward her eventual emotional breakdown.

He often manipulates her into getting what he wants during sex and sometimes abuses her. Elizabeth is an attractive divorcee, who works at an art gallery in New York. When she and her friend Molly (Margaret Whitton) organize dinner with friends, they go to the market where Elizabeth sees John (Mickey Rourke), a handsome Wall street broker.

Later, Elizabeth goes to a street market. She intends to buy a scarf, but it's too expensive. She meets John again and instantly feels attracted to him. He wins her over when he wraps her with the expensive scarf she wanted to buy. They start dating, and John shows himself to be peculiar.

He starts to blindfold Elizabeth, who is reluctant to go with John's desires, but agrees. John is loving and playful; he gives Elizabeth a watch, and he tells her to think about him at 12 p.m., which she does at work. In fact, she plays with herself thinking about all the things she had done with John.

They also play with food, and these experiences make Elizabeth feel like a new woman. However, John is reluctant to meet Elizabeth's friends, and he excuses himself by telling her that he does not share her with anyone.
