The world of Bitter Moon is precisely the kind of world from which Cobain wanted to escape: cruel, sadistic, and predatory, a place where sensitive souls are treated like wounded animals on the savanna. Throughout his life and career, Polanski has witnessed—and yes, perpetrated—some deplorable things, and in Bitter Moon, his cynicism about human nature curdles into very dark comedy. When it was first released, many critics were inclined to treat the film as a Basic Instinct knock-off, another in a long line of po-faced thrillers like Body Of Evidence that mixed kinky sexual acrobatics with deadly power plays. Seen in that context, the film does indeed look ridiculous, as anything would featuring Peter Coyote in silk underwear, crawling on all fours while wearing a pig mask. Somewhere behind the camera, Polanski is flashing a malevolent smile, but the comedic gamesmanship in Bitter Moon isn’t entirely a joke. Beyond the golden showers and humiliating S&M rituals lies a nasty thesis: Love is the ultimate form of degradation.

Even the Chinese realise this. You can only hide information away from those who dont look. If you look, you will find. The real problem is that, on average, we are far too stupid to even know what is good for us. It is only the luddites – like my daft baby boomer parents – whom this affects.

We of Generation X have effectively implemented a technological meritocracy. If knowledge is power, then technological merit is power. There is nothing anyone can do to change this. It is even beyond the reaches of your “democracy”. Censor or outlaw whatever technologies or information you want – it makes no difference to us.

One person’s ‘trash’ is anoher person’s ‘treasure’.
