Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger take you on an erotic odyssey in this steamy story of a love affair that breaks every sexual taboo. Director Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction, Unfaithful) creates a lushly photographed rendition of secret fantasies and desires that come vividly to life on screen. Set against the high-tech backdrop of Manhattan, 9½ 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.
With a script co-written by Zalman King, his wife Patricia Knop and Sarah Kernochan and with a puling soundtrack featuring Grace Jones, Eurhythmics, Joe Cocker and Bryan Ferry, 9½ Weeks is a passionate and provocative look at love and obsession that is moving, thrilling and sometimes shocking.

A very strange relationship that doesn't make a lot of sense takes up most of the movie. It's supposed to be erotic, but weird would be more apt. Not a lot happens, making the whole thing rather boring.

Perhaps this was the eighties verision of the Fifty Shades phenomenon? Before Kim Basinger's lips lost their job to Angelina's? Essentially average viewing. *Spoiler alert* And while there is noteworthy sensuality and some imaginative sex scenes, it's really the story of what happens when a man treats a woman as an object largely for his own selfish enjoyment... to the detriment of her mind and emotions... until she can't take it any more. Only then does he want to talk about his childhood. And love. *sigh*
