Review of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) by Hasan C — 25 Nov 2008
THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER is not a movie for all tastes -- pun intended. However, it's one of the most avant-garde, intelligent stories that demands to be seen numerous times. I admire the lavish scenery Greenaway created for each area of the restaurant because it gives this extremely modern film a Renaissance feel and elevates its inherent symbolism.
Grotesque but beautiful at the same time, it has a powerful cinematic language that has a style all its own.
