Bitter Moon

Bitter Moon. Roman Polanski, 1992.

😿

Edition screened: Kino Lorber Blu-ray, released 2015. English language. Runtime approximately 139 minutes.


Summary: Inconsiderate handling of a dog.


Details: While having sex, a man has one hand on the shoulders of a poodle who has jumped onto the bed, trying to keep the dog from interfering. We hear a short squeal and see the dog held awkwardly by the leg, 1:11:40.


Like the rest of the film, this incident really is a big nothing and I think the squeal was added post production. But there is a presentation of a dog made to cry out. 


Not a particularly good Polanski.
