The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover update feed

“(OK) El relato más simple y lineal de Greenaway, aquí todo está apostado a la locación y a los personajes, todo está en el listado del título, no hay más aparentemente. Todo se repite y es difícil soportarlo, Mirren convence de su masoquismo o victimización, solo pro ella nos soplamos al gangster, cualquier final me hubiera convencido...” read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" The wife of a barbaric crime boss engages in a secretive romance with a gentle bookseller between meals at her husband's restaurant. Food, colour coding, sex, murder, torture and cannibalism are the exotic fare in this beautifully filmed but brutally uncompromising modern fable which has been interpreted as an allegory for Thatcherism. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover is a 1989 crime drama art film written and directed by Peter Greenaway, starring Richard Bohringer, Michael Gambon,"

"9.2 Loistava elokuva, jonka provosoiva kannanotto yläluokan turhamaisuutta vastaan on edelleen ajankohtainen. Greenawayn mestariteos lyö sanan varsinaisessa merkityksessä sisäpiirihienostelijoilta jauhot kurkkuun, kun kerran elokuvan tapahtuvatkin sijoittuvat hienostoravintolaan. Michael Gambonin näyttelemä gangsteripomo/ravintolan omistaja Albert Spica on samaan aikaan sekä hillittömän hauska että vastenmielisen inhottava. Gambon eläytyy hypnoottisen vakuuttavasti rooliinsa miehenä"
