Nine 1/2 Weeks 1985
American film director, writer, actor and producer Zalman King died on February 3, 2012. Meanwhile, he became best known for his collaboration with director Adrian Lyne on the film Nine 1/2 Weeks in 1985 which starred Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke. In fact, the film acquired a large fan-base on video and was a huge success internationally. However, in the U.S. the film was not a success, in contrast to other countries. For example, the box office only in Germany amounted to $ 8 million. And it became especially popular in the pirate video market in the then Soviet Union. The idea that sex does not deliver supreme joy without love was understandable. Besides, psychological compatibility attracted Russian viewers.

English filmmaker and producer is best known for directing films that focus on sexually charged characters and often uses natural light, a fog machine and other effects to create eroticized atmospheres.
