If you loved A Zed & Two Noughts, try Drowning by Numbers

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Peter Greenaway, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Zed & Two Noughts, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Drowning by Numbers is

Three generations of Cissie Colpitts take turns refreshing their marital options by drowning their husbands, while a coroner with a weakness for bad decisions keeps the paperwork tidy in increasingly awkward ways. Incrementally grisly math class becomes the family business. One shudders to imagine the staff awards ceremony.
