If you loved Performance, try Le Cuisinier, le voleur, sa femme et son amant
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Theyboth carry the surreal mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Performance, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Le Cuisinier, le voleur, sa femme et son amant is
You feast in a candlelit hall where a thug bullies the room into silence. Between bingeing steak and insults he barely lets you swallow your wine, you notice his wife’s stolen glances at the bookish diner across the room and then you’re slipping into an attic with him, leaving lips of rouge on a napkin. Peter Greenaway traps the era’s vulgarity inside ornate frames and lets the silence scream.
