Set in 17th-century England, Peter Greenaway’s erotic country house murder mystery catapulted him to the forefront of international art cinema. Adorned with intricate wordplay, extravagant costumes and opulent photography, Greenaway’s film features an aristocratic wife who commissions a young draughtsman to sketch her husband’s property in exchange for one sexual favor for each of his drawings.
