If you loved Performance, try El cocinero, el ladrón, su mujer y su amante
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
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 El cocinero, el ladrón, su mujer y su amante 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.
