Review of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 01 Jan 2000
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover is not an easy film to sit through. It doesn't simply make a show of being uncompromising -- it is uncompromised in every single shot from beginning to end.
Why is it so extreme? Because it is a film made in rage, and rage cannot be modulated.
