Review of The Draughtsman's Contract (1982) by Alex D — 22 Jun 2008
Everything about this film suggests excess -- from costume to sexuality to the characters' cruelty -- yet it is kept within strict, convoluted lines, like the drawings the Draughtsman makes. As in all Greenaway films, everything you see is potentially a metaphor for everything else kept hidden, but there are no easy conclusions.
Massive fan of the Nyman soundtrack, too, which first drew me to the film.
