The First 9½ Weeks
A journey beyond pleasure
Directed by Alex Wright
Produced by Barnholtz Entertainment, The Carousel Picture Company
A sensual, morally ambiguous thriller set in New Orleans that blends erotic intrigue with hints of the occult and existential transformation.
An investment banker travels to Louisiana to snag the account of an eccentric millionaire but gets involved with his lusty wife, Mardi Gras, and (possibly) a satanic cult. The events in and around New Orleans change him forever and give a new slant on The American Dream.
