    SUPERB

    This is a much misunderstood and underrated film. It is, in fact, a superbly crafted exploration by Adrian Lyne of lust versus love. While the film is incredibly life-affirming (even the simple act of changing a cassette tape becomes a beautiful moment), it also shocking as it charts the gradual disintegration of a relationship over a mere 9 and a half weeks from one of mutual trust to debasement through thee lowest of human sexual perversities.

    Kim Basinger puts in a strong performance here, thankfully avoiding her normal character stereotypes. The real star of the film, however, is Mickey Rourke who’s brilliantly underplayed acting reminds us of why, back in the Eighties, he was heralded as the new Brando. The man really could portray so much emotion simply by a smile, look or tilt of his head that he often didn’t even need to speak.

    Beautifully filmed, fantastically acted, strongly themed – an Eighties classic!

    Rourke brought to tears by Basinger letter

    • 18 Apr 2009

    Mickey Rourke teared up when he received a heartfelt letter from his 9 Weeks co-star Kim Basinger, expressing how much she loved THE WRESTLER. The movie star admits the note from his old friend meant as much to him as winning accolades for the film. He recalls, "Coming from her, it was very special and it was very generous and heartfelt letter. It brought me to tears, really." The pair reunited for the first time in 23 years on the red carpet at the premiere for their new movie The Informers... Read more
