The Films of Adrian Lyne

117 minutes – United States 1986
Director: Adrian Lyne
Starring: Mickey Rourke, Kim Basinger and Margaret Whitton


When Elizabeth met John, she was a smart and sophisticated woman in control of her own life. Intrigued by his enigmatic and aloof personality, she plunges into a relationship of heading sensuality…a relationship that intensifies into a nightmare of fantasy and domination. Soon Elizabeth must choose: between her desires and her sanity. A media cause célèbre when originally released due to its subject matter, 9 ½ WEEKS is, in fact, a restrained yet sensual drama exploring submission and dominance within a relationship. Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke have remarkable screen chemistry together as the film follows their characters’ desire, infatuation and obsession with one another.
