In "Bitter Moon," a stuffy British couple — Fiona (Kristin Scott Thomas) and Nigel (Hugh Grant) — meet a seductive French woman, Mimi (Emmanuelle Seigner), and her (much older) paraplegic husband, Oscar (Peter Coyote), as they sail to Istanbul. Mimi holds dark secrets about her sexual proclivities and the utter control she has over the men who fall for her. But Oscar has some secrets of his own, sharing with Nigel how despite his paralysis, he can still satisfy Mimi. With his erotic teachings, he proves Nigel can do the same for Fiona and perhaps also Mimi while he's at it.
