I don't believe it, somebody likes Monsieur Hire and Bitter Moon!Hire fascinated me and Sandrine Bonnaire absolutely melted the camera down. As for Bitter Moon, I winced through most of the movie. Its dark humor was crippling to its characters. Peter Coyote went into my "Evil Men" hall of fame. He was great.

Follow Ups:
Polanski made Bitter Moon after a novel by the French writer/philosopher Pascal Bruckner. The novel is very good and has a different ending. And, yes, Coyote was great in the movie. Bitter Moon and Knife in the Water are the only Polanski movies I like.Hire is indeed a fascinating movie, it is Patrice Leconte's best film.
I wouldn't put The Bitter Moon anywhere near the Knife... I thought it was one of the worst, cheapest films in years.

Knife is really great. Once Polanski left Poland his movies started to suck. The Pianist for example is a disaster. Bitter Moon is an exercise in dark humor. A playful and yet masochistic movie.
You don't care for "Chinatown" or "Rosemary's Baby"?
