Il cuoco, il ladro, sua moglie e l'amante

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.
