Nine 1/2 Weeks
They Broke Every Rule.
Directed by Adrian Lyne
Produced by Jonesfilm, Galactic Films
A tense, erotically charged exploration of sexual obsession and power dynamics between two strangers in New York, where physical intimacy masks emotional distance and psychological complexity.
An erotic story about a woman, the assistant of an art gallery, who gets involved in an impersonal affair with a man. She barely knows about his life, only about the sex games they play, so the relationship begins to get complicated.
