| the draughtsman's contract |

Peter greenaway. Well, this is the third film of his I’ve seen. The first one I saw was 8 ½ women, and I was pretty bored with that. The next one was the cook, the thief, his wife & her lover. The cook is visually striking, but slow and tedious. Nonetheless, it’s worth it just for the final scene (lechon, anyone?). And now this film.
I would say this is the most accessible of the three. The dialogue is lyrical and fits well with the look of the film. I have to admit though, when I first tried to watch it, I knew after the opening sequence that I would have to stop and start over again, because the dialogue in this would require a bit more of my participation in order to follow the film. It’s worth it though. And the opening sequence is great as well. The score was perfect. You don’t find too many films that are perfectly scored.
so, I would have to say I like this film more than the other two. But the final scene in the cook beats any scene in the draughtsman’s contract. But as a whole, this is better.
And you don’t find too many statues like that, either. |
