The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

Synopsis

“When it premiered in 1989, Peter Greenaway’s THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, AND HER LOVER stunned audiences with its unflinching portraits of abuse and sexuality. It’s as dark as comedy can get, but it remains in the collective film consciousness through the generation of filmmakers that Greenaway influenced.” – Steve Greene, IndieWire
