the cook the thief his wife and her lover (1989)

a drama directed by peter greenaway
this film relates a story of a nasty restaurant owner whose wife, fed up with his arrogance, decides to have an affair with a fellow patron of the restaurant. they do it in the bathroom, the kitchen, the meat locker, etc. as the pompous husband sits in the dining room making an ass of himself. eventually he catches on an the shit hits the fan all the way to the shocking conclusion.
the old whisper and blast technique was used in this one. most of the important dialogue is as quiet as possible, while the horrible husband's shouts shake the firmament. the dishwasher sings 1 beautiful opera number. it's a shame he repeats it a half dozen times throughout the movie. the video was a little dark.
it was a good watch. I never felt the need to turn it off as it kept me interested all the way through. it may be a little long, but it's well worth the time.
