@ExcessMale 05/06/2022 Have to give it a pass for how lofty, weird but carefully directed it is. This isn't like any of Greenaway's other films in terms of direction and overall composition. See more 02/01/2018 Greenaway's incessant use of screen gimmickry as canvas art adapted to the cinema is a put off making the plot a secondary shadow to his visual chaos. Sex scenes so stylized they become pornography without passion or eroticism make for an extremely boring movie. Thematic brutalizing and humiliation of male characters for its own sake is gratuitously woven into a pointless tawdry fabric. Nothing more than Eurotrash.

See more 01/02/2015 Peter Greenaway's grotesquerie. See more 06/28/2014 Despite it's protracted length and repetitive nature, Greenway's unclassifiable, luscious, sexual fantasia is offbeat and something of it's own nature which I hope to see again, very soon in other films. Somewhere, Paolo Pasolini is smiling, and so am I. See more 02/01/2014 So explicit in its sexual content So audacious in its visual So frustratingly byzantine in its narrative that its either doomed to obscurity or destined for cult status See more Read all reviews
