Mimi Rogers is a buxom lady, beautiful like a statuette and Nicholas Roeg's aptly titled Full Body Massage takes full advantage of this fact. She becomes the subject and camera swirls and swipes around her in majestic ways. Bryan Brown plays the masseur who is called on by Rogers for her weekly therapeutic sessions. If you go in with the idea that this is softcore pornography movie you'd be disappointed. Yes, there is nudity but the conversations between the two leads are engaging and interesting. This is one of the great examples why Nicholas Roeg is such an auteur- he can make the most inane subjects and create something special with it. This is an artsy film so go in with that mindset.

Having read some IMDb reviews before I got my hands on the film itself, I was agreeably surprised watching it. In the canon of the director whose early works I admire, it definitely resides somewhere close to the bottom - but Roeg is always interesting, even at his lowest. Though the Australian DVD has no subtitles (which is always bad news for me because - as the reader of this already knows - my knowledge of English is quite limited), I was not bored for the most of the movie, and I believe that it has important things to say about life not only of rich Americans. A haiku ("Suddenly you light // and as suddenly go dark // fellow firefly") inserted (almost literally) between Mimi Rogers' breasts shouldn't be underestimated. Rogers is a gorgeous piece of a woman but the film really is not about her, or her breasts, or philosophical/mystical reflections - it's about human relations and mutual using/misusing in pursuit of happiness, self-fulfillment,etc., seen by Roeg under slightly satirical angle. (From this point of view, which I'm not sure of, the otherwise likable ending was a bit disappointing, tending to follow a rather sentimental line.)If I would be asked to recommend any of my colleagues' reviews, it would be dnjir' s.

If you don't like to think when you're watching a movie, this isn't for you. True, you see Mimi Roger's tits a lot but that's not what the movie is about. This movie tells the stories about both characters and how their lives turned out the way they did.

It's true you'll keep watching this movie because of Mimi's breasts.By watching this movie you admit you are attracted to the flesh - the material if you want, and that's how you realize there is more than that. Sometimes it's too plain, but it creates it's truly believable feeling. See it for yourself and decide.
