Synopsis:
Mimi Rogers (Austin Powers, Bosch) and Bryan Brown (Cocktail, F/X) sizzle in this highly provocative drama from acclaimed director Nicolas Roeg (Walkabout, The Man Who Fell to Earth). Nina (Rogers), a successful but world-weary art dealer, is surprised to find that her regular masseur has sent a substitute, Fitch (Brown), to continue her weekly massage sessions. Fitch's therapeutic caresses, while charged with sexual tension, gain emotional significance as the opinionated pair first clash, and then bond while relaying thoughtful meditations on intimacy and human relationships.
Free to discuss her life, hopes and failures, Nina is liberated from her confused world, indulging in a strange, erotic mysticism with her handy muse. Brilliantly helmed by British director Roeg, 'Full Body Massage' is an exhilarating and sophisticated portrait of sensual love.

Rather Dull Erotic Drama - Full Body Massage review by GI

Spoiler Alert
25/05/2025

An erotic drama with Nicolas Roeg's usual strangeness that marks his film's as very original and here with the addition of a brave performance from Mimi Rogers, an American actor that deserves more recognition for her work than she often gets being more remembered for her brief and inconsequential marriage to Tom Cruise. Full Body massage will probably be more remembered for Rogers nude scenes, indeed she spends much of the film undressed and being very intimately massaged. The narrative concerns Nina (Rogers), a wealthy yet bored art dealer who is home awaiting her usual masseuse to arrive. She dreams of the previous massages as they have skirted beyond the professional line but she is taken aback when Fitch (Bryan Brown) arrives as a new masseur. He's a challenging individual who then spends the remainder of the film's runtime discoursing with Nina over various aspects of their lives, character, views on spirituality etc etc all the while massaging her in a very overtly sexual way. Ultimately the film is dull despite the intense script and the all pervading increase in sexual tension. A film that is more of interest as a Roeg film than anything else but it's certainly not one of his better films.
