Often vile, but always elegant, "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" is a profound drama that's as intense as it is stylish.

Another visual feast by Peter Greenaway with some gorgeous painterly direction and use of colour, complimented by sumptous costume design, sex, violence and revenge. Again, some may find it painfully pretentious but it is unforgettably powerful and contains far more in the way of coherent narrative than many of his other films.

Not my cup of tea. I apologize, but Peter Greenaway isn't my man.
