“A teasingly satirical tale of art, sex, death, and gardening…weirdly wonderful”
—Mark Kermode
Art and murder are afoot when an arrogant artist (played by Anthony Higgins with an impressively, perpetually arched brow) enters a contract with unusual terms in Peter Greenaway’s Michael Nyman-scored comedy-drama, selected by the BFI as one of the Top 100 British Films. Celebrating its 40th Anniversary. New 4K restoration opening at AFS Cinema.
