The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

(1989, dir. Peter Greenaway, w/ Richard Bohringer, Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, Alan Howard)

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover will finish at approximately 9:42pm.

The wife of a barbaric crime boss engages in a secretive romance with a gentle bookseller between meals at her husband's restaurant. Food, colour coding, sex, murder, torture and cannibalism are the exotic fare in this beautifully filmed but brutally uncompromising modern fable which has been interpreted as an allegory for Thatcherism.
