Review of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) by Scott M — 10 Feb 2013
One of the most impressive films ever put onscreen, Greenaway's fable on dictatorship, submissiveness, food and sex is a feast for the eyes, with lush cinematography by Sacha Vierny, spectacular outfits by Jean Paul Gaultier and an epic score by Michael Nyman.
Michael Gambon and Helen Mirren bare their souls and Greenaway makes one of the most memorable and to-the-point endings in move history. Not for the faint of stomach. Oddly enough, this is the director's mot accesible film.
