[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 414901, member: 8"] THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE & HER LOVER (1989) [ATTACH type="full"]55037[/ATTACH] An excess in food, vulgarity and sensuality presented in various breathtaking sets, and it's precisely the combinations of havoc & ceremony and glamour & kink that I love in Ken Russell's films. Michael Gambon is wonderfully entertaining as the opinionated villain and Helen Mirren plays it fearless like she always does. Several characters get shoved around or worse and there were many moments that made me laugh out loud. This is the third Peter Greenaway film I've seen and I also love [I]The Baby Of Mâcon[/I] that tackles the theme of cult and religion in mind-bogglingly gorgeous sets and mixes film, play and quasi-reality in a most bizarre way. I thought [I]The Draughtsman's Contract [/I]was so-so but maybe I'll rewatch it sometime, and I don't know much about the other films so that could be hit or miss. [/QUOTE]
