Summary: This Philosophy is Only Skin Deep
Comment: This movie is essentially "My Dinner With Andre" -- but with Andre as a woman and she's mostly nude. Granted Mimi Rogers is a lot more fun to look at than Mr. Gregory (I can't picture her as Wallace Shawn...), but the long wordy conversation which runs throughout this film is just as shallow and pointless as Malle's original. They talk about art, about shamanistic healing, about relationships and "the differences between men and women" -- but nothing is ever settled. Both characters state their opinions and keep talking. The gimmick of having one of them nude on a massage table is ultimately a cheap trick to keep male audiences engaged.
Nicolas Roeg often goes overboard on dialog in his movies (The Man Who Fell To Earth, Insignificance, Bad Timing) and also loves his "ooga-booga B.S." (to quote Nina) with all the crystals, magnets, colored scarves, totems, Hopi medicine and burning rope being reminiscent of Walkabout, Performance and Heart of Darkness. Technically the film (a low budget made-for-TV) is sub-par, with harsh lighting, needle-drop score, zip for costumes or locations, and some surprisingly obvious errors with (for instance) on-again/off-again panties and a laughable fatal car crash with no damage.
I like Bryan Brown as an actor, and Mimi is delightfully mature and unselfconscious here, but this movie ultimately fails to deliver full satisfaction -- just like the massage of the title.

Summary: The Zen of Massage
Comment: Many items produce a Zen-like tranquility by focusing one's attention upon the very small, urging the steps toward enlightenment by inviting the notice of even the smallest detail. Of this nature is square-foot gardening, the game of Go, and now, the viewng of Full Body Massage. Though beautifully set in the Malibu Beach area and within a beautiful, art-filled contemporary home, the "plot" is restricted to the conversations and induced memories of a handsome masseur and his gorgeous mature nude lady. They challenge and stretch each others' minds, taking us back to major events in their lives, all against the background of an erotically-enticing massage. I really wish it were available in DVD - it seems only to be available on the private VHS market (i.e., eBay and the like), and I fear multiple viewings will wear out my video cassette.

Summary: Magnficent but also mind challengin
Comment: Mimi is used to having her regular massuese. And during these occasions, more occurs than just body rubs. Browne shows up as a replacement. While possibly attracted to Mimi's lovely assets, he is a professional, not a gigilo. He proceeds to give Mimi a great massage. While doing so and getting into some deep talk, Mimi has flashbacks to intimate vivid encounters with the "original." Special efforts are made to conceal private parts and Browne uses the towel very discriminately. At the same time, while not showing all, the early arguments and later conversation-
discussions become intriguing. Mimi is disappointed in not getting the real thing. At the same time, she is awaken by Browne's discourses into
philosophy and art. Those who want to see Mimi in the buff will not be disappointed, although they may want 100%. Browne's challenges in seeing
her desires yet continuing on as a professional massuese are fascinating to watch. At the end, one can sense somewhat of mental binding between the two, not giving anything away. Will she invite Browne back for some
discourse as well as a legitimate massage? Is he turned off with her own way desire or aroused by the willingnexs to enter deep discourse. There is little eroticism. There is lots of natural beauty and excellent
dialogue. I view this film as a sleeper which more should see, but only if keeping in mind that this movie is not steamy like Eva Green's DREAMS
or Gemser's EMANULLE ON TABOO ISLAND. I highly recommend it for all
except voyeurs.

Summary: Mimi!!!
Comment: I purchased this movie for one reason and one reason only. To see Mimi nude and this movie delivered. Mimi has a natural beauty; she is a normal woman who is quite sexy and what can I say about her magnificent breasts. Nothing like Mimi's body all oiled up!
All Mimi fans should see this movie.
