"The Cook The Thief His Wife And Her Lover" (Peter Greenaway) (1989)
1989 / 124mins. / Original Aspect Ratio (2.35:1 Widescreen) / Uncut NC-17 Version / English Language / Color / UK + France
Picture Quality: A++
Appalling, bizarre yet compelling black comedy.,
This film adds a new dimension to the black comedy genre. We're talking pitch black, Friday the 13th dark here. From the first scene to the last, it appalls and discourages. Yet it's strangely compelling.
It revolves around a trapped woman, engulfed by the wrath of her thieving husband, whose volatile temper triggers itself at any moment. She spies a lonely bookseller, and they start a dangerous affair together.
The thief then discovers the affair, and his anger is let loose upon the wife and her lover.
It's very over-the-top and horrific, the violence is graphic and the sexuality is explicit. The innuendo is terse and ribald, the comedy very film-noir. Those are the qualities which make the film so good.
