And while #9½Weeks may be just exploitative erotic trash it's at least well-made trash in large parts thanks to both Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger's screen presences. Which makes the cult following it's gained over the years totally deserved. #NineAndAHalfWeeks 📽️🎞️

Also released #OnThisDay 40 years ago. An erotic drama that is basically just style over substance. But does it matter if and when the 80s music video aesthetics are this much of a visual eye candy...? 🤫 #9½Weeks #NineAndAHalfWeeks 📽️🎞️

'Nine and a half weeks is not fiction or fantasy. It is a true account of an episode experienced by a real man and a real woman. To read it is to live through it.'
