'Full Body Massage' is a 1995 erotic made-for-cable movie directed by Nicolas Roeg and starring Mimi Rogers getting a nude full body massage while talking about relationships and philosophy with her masseur (Bryan Brown).
Plot
Nina, an art dealer, has her weekly massage appointment and is surprised to find out her usual masseur, Douglas, has sent a replacement named Fitch.

Production
Mimi Rogers said Nicolas Roeg waited for her to have her baby so they shot four-and-a-half months after she gave birth. "My body was not what it usually is," she said.
Reception
The film has been ironically called an American version of the French film 'La Belle Noiseuse', which starred Emmanuelle Bart as an artist's model who spends much of the 240-minute feature nude, discussing relationships with the artist.[http://www.scoopy.com/fullbodymassage.htm 'Full Body Massage' (1995) from Johnny Web (Uncle Scoopy)], retrieved on 2007-01-16.
