…a tantalizing puzzle, wrapped in eroticism and presented with the utmost elegance. - Roger Ebert
Peter Greenaway's (The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover) breakthrough feature film is a stylistic tour-de-force about murder, adultery and blackmail.
Set in the English countryside in the late 17th century, Mr. Neville, a young draughtsman (Anthony Higgins), is hired by Mrs. Herbert (Janet Suzman) to create 12 elaborate sketches of her estate as a gift to her husband, in return for money and sexual favors. This simple arrangement soon spirals out of control and Mr. Neville finds himself as the prime suspect in a bizarre murder mystery. |
